What’s ur fave surfskate?
- Thread starter Havoc
- Start date
I have one, it’s pretty fun to mess around with on flat asphalt. Agree it’s not the right tool for the job for skating bowls or parks. Plus it matches my real surfboard
What’s the right length deck?
still standing by for the cheapest option for a not skater who refuses to be identified as a longboard cuck.

Wheel base is what you are looking for not over all length both personal preference but general rule taller wider stance bigger wheel base but for street. I am 5'8" and go from 14.75" bowls to 15.15" street cruiser has bigger wb but shorter deck if you see pic above.
here’s our cruiser quiver, just pulled these from the board rack, big boards and soft wheels. My son put soft bushings on the Miller and I actually like it so squirrely and super fun in bowls.
SC how loose do you run your trucks? I trip out on preference of some how tight they run yet are able to carve tight lines in the bowl. I run both front and back hand tight as much as possible then 1/4 turn sk8 key. I always change out indy bushings for medium bones.
ya wheelbase is what to look at. depends on your height/stance. I'm 5'10 and wheelbase on mine is 16" I believe, deck is 29"
front truck = wobble city, I have it as loose as possible
back truck - maybe two turns tighter than front but still loose
for bushing I use bones medium bushing on bottom with a soft on top. Custom set up hahaha.

With surfskates I don't even know where to start. Having one is admitting you have sh!t motor skills and probably suck at surfing too. It makes you look like a retard sverwing around trying to make some speed. Just go to the skatepark like a normal person and either do street, bowl, ramp or even freestyle. How does a surfskate make you better at surfing? If you need practice wiggling your feet, there are other more serious issues to consider. Get a normal skateboard and start learning ollies. 10x more fun and the other skaters will cheer you on instead of hating on you for being an idiot with a stupid board with wiggly trucks.
I’m 6’1 and lanky.
No stink bug stance, I usually surf boards a few inches under my height.
I just wanna look cool compared to my 8yr old neighbor pulling smith grinds in front of my place.
I feel out gunned.

Try 16" wb and width is your friend over height because most tall people have big feet so 10+" wide deck. A lot of big guys dig pool king decks or go ole school Dog town.
My son has so much product I just make setups for fun now. He wins a ton of sh!t doing little local comps, then our friends family owns skateshops . its a mess, just grabbed this stack of decks from his room to take a pic.
board hoarding is hereditary
