Two Skate Styles Compared: Which One’s Yours?

Hey, riders! Ready to glide on asphalt or ride the road like it’s a wave? Let’s break down the differences between Street Skateboarding and Surfskating.

Street Skateboard: The Asphalt Essential

• The Deck: When you think of skateboarding, you probably picture the classic “”Popsicle”” shape. It’s known for its symmetrical design and versatility, perfect for street, park, and tricks.
• The Truck: Stiff and responsive, the street skateboard truck is built for radical maneuvers.
• The Wheels: Small and hard, they’re great for smooth surfaces but less ideal for rough asphalt.

Surfskate: The Surf Experience on Wheels

• The Deck: Inspired by old-school boards, the surfskate deck offers stability and a surf-inspired look. The deck length is key for “pumping,” creating that kinetic energy that makes you feel like you’re surfing a wave.
• The Truck: Designed for a wide range of motion, the surfskate truck allows you to mimic the dynamics of surfing.
• The Wheels: Soft and wide, these wheels are perfect for the streets, where surfskates often shine.

The Cruiser: Best of Both Worlds

A blend of street skateboard and surfskate, the Cruiser is versatile and ideal for city riding, with wide, soft wheels perfect for asphalt.
