Surf skate - what is it?

Surf skate is a type of skateboarding that emulates surfing.

Surfskate: Ride the Waves on Wheels

Ever wished you could ride waves without getting wet?  Surfskate is like surfing, but on land!  

 

Instead of a big ocean wave, you carve up ramps, sidewalks, and even smooth streets using a special board.Imagine a surfboard that's super flexible and has a cool curve on the bottom.  That's kind of what a surfskate is like! The curve, called a "rocker," helps you feel the board and move like you're riding a real wave.

What makes a surfskate special?

  • The Curve:  The bendy bottom of the board is like a surfboard's curve, making it easier to carve and turn.  It's all about feeling the board and moving your body in a smooth way.

  • The Rocker: It's the way the board is shaped.  It helps you make awesome turns, like when you're surfing.

  • The Feel:  A surfskate is often made of softer materials than a normal skateboard, which means it moves more smoothly and gives you a smoother feeling.

Where can you ride a surfskate?

You can surfskate wherever you can ride a regular skateboard.  

Great places include:

  • Skateparks:  These are designed for all types of skateboarding. Look for flat parts of the park where you can practice your moves.

  • Smooth Sidewalks:  Pick a smooth, flat sidewalk area where you can practice some surfing on your board!

  • Empty Streets:  If you have a lot of space, try out your moves in an empty lot or street.

  • Empty space/warehouse: Find a flat, smooth area in your local area or a nearby empty warehouse to practise!
