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!
