how to choose your surfskate deck

Choose your board based on your height, riding style, and weight.



Weight:

Short height and light weight: opt for shorter boards for better maneuverability.
Taller height and heavier weight: prefer longer boards for stability.
For beginners, a longer and wider surfskate board is recommended for better stability.

Regarding riding style:

Short boards: aggressive turns, suited for experts.
Long boards: wider turns, ideal for longer rides.

Types of boards:

Long (over 32 inches): for pumping and gaining speed, suitable for all levels. See boards over 32"
Medium (between 30 and 32 inches): versatile for surf training and long-distance rides. See boards between 30-32"
Short (under 30 inches): fast and maneuverable, ideal for skateparks and urban commuting for smaller experienced skaters. See boards under 30"

How to choose your surfskate wheels

Wheel Hardness:

Softer wheels, ranging from 75a to 86a, are recommended for surfskate.
These wheels offer smooth rolling and perform well on various surfaces.


Softer wheels provide more comfort on uneven terrain and better grip.

Harder wheels make sliding easier but offer less comfort on rough surfaces.

Wheel Shape:

Squarelips: Better suited for grip and control during carves, sharp turns, and downhill riding.

Roundlips: Ideal for slides, freeride, and surfskate with smooth transitions and flow.

Wheel Diameter:

60mm to 70mm: Small, lightweight wheels that accelerate quickly but sacrifice some grip and comfort compared to larger wheels.

65mm to 70mm: A versatile size that balances acceleration, comfort, and grip.

Over 70mm: Large wheels provide a good balance of acceleration, comfort, and grip but may require risers.


Important Note: For wheels over 65mm, it is recommended to use risers between the trucks and the board to avoid wheel bite, which could cause sudden braking. If you have any doubts, feel free to contact our customer service for assistance.
