Finding the right surf skateboards in NZ

Did you know that surfskates were originally invented by surfers who wanted to do surf training on flat days? Years later, and surfskating is one of the biggest passions of skaters and surfers across New Zealand and beyond.  So, what exactly is a surfskate? It’s a skateboard for surfing the street, giving riders the ability to mimic the movements, feel and flow of surfing. A surfskate is generally a wide cruiser featuring a front truck that has a much greater range of motion, making it more fast-turning compared to a normal cruiser. Want the feeling of total freedom? This sport is perfect for everyone who loves the flow of board sports. Glide, carve and experience a totally new style of riding without your feet ever needing to touch the ground.
