First of all, what is a Surfskate? It’s a skateboard with patented truck geometry that creates thrust and deep rail to rail carves, yielding a carve dynamic that is remarkably similar to a surfboard. Our general rule is that any size board is fine for starting as your body will get used to the length and width. We often see customers switching back and forth between shorter and longer models as their skating progresses. TRUCK TYPE The CX truck is a single -axis truck with a precision pivot pin which allows for very snappy turns, like riding a thruster surfboard,...

Wood likes stable conditions without drastic changes in humidity or temperature. As long as you pay attention to the following, you can store your board almost anywhere you like! DO keep your board inside, or at least out of the rain and weather. Indoors in your house is better than in a shed or garage if possible. DON'T keep your board near a radiator or other heat...

If your wheels are too loose, you'll get play in your wheel bearings. Bearing play will significantly shorten the life of your bearings, increase wheel wear, and make slides really noisy and chattery. You can largely fix this problem by using built in bearings, or failing that bearing spacers. However, sometimes your spacers come up slightly smaller than the wheel core, which essentially stops the spacer doing its job and allows bearing play anyway. If you have any play in your bearings, simply adjust the axle nut tightness. You want them tight enough to minimise any play, but loose enough...
