Waterborne’s skateboard surf adapter allows for deeper turns than the Carver C7 – and thus the CX, less surfy than the C7 If you’re a surfer or have aspirations to be one by converting your regular Longboard into a Surfskate, you can practice surfing techniques when you’re away from the coast or when the wave conditions are poor. Also wanna make sure you get some credit in the process - is there a code or something I should use? This upgrade kit is designed to fit any skateboard and drastically increase its surf-style performance. It’s an add-on device that converts a regular skateboard or longboard into a surfskate. Surf skating is a skateboarding style that involves surf-style carving and surf-like maneuvers on land.

I am part of the very first generation of skateboarders in France, I’ll be soon 59 years old and I still ride as often as I can, but much cooler ! You seem to be the proud owner of a Gordon & Smith 38 '' pintail longboard, is it the legendary Fibreflex model ?Although more stable at speed, some riders find the Waterborne looser than the Swelltech, which is great if your goal is surf training. The S5 version of the Yow surfskate system uses a bigger and heavier 5mm spring in its core, with more resistance in sharp turns. It’s ideal for heavier riders or skaters who with more radical riding styles and power moves that call for more resistance. Comparing Yow vs Waterborne The Yow surf skate adapter’s very loose steering and shortboard-like mobility is often compared to the Smoothstar surf skate system, which has the same geometry. Like the Waterborne, the Yow is generally considered closer to radical surfing than the Carver C7. The Yow is a good fit for performance shortboard simulation and cross-training. It also works well for radical surf-style skatepark and bow riding. If you’re an ocean surfer – or would like to become one, a skateboard surf adapter can make your existing skateboard, longboard, or cruiser ride a lot like a surfboard on a wave. The Waterborne fits on 27", 29" and 32" Penny Skateboards however for the ultimate riding experience we suggest purchasing the 29" High~Line complete skateboard.

How do the Yow system skateboard adpater and Waterborne surf adapter compare? The main difference between them is that Waterborne uses a urethane bushing while Yow has a mechanical spring. As a result, the two adapters have a very different riding feel. this waterborne adapter which I attached to one of our popsicle boards gives you more motion to really carve and pump. Very happy with this adapter, insanely fun and if your out for a rip long distance, what a workout🤙🏻 Although not meant for really high speed, the Waterborne skateboard surf adapter is more stable at speed than other surf skates if combined with the Rail Adapter With a courageous heart, I steered the JET-X into the portal, leaving behind the mundane world. In that enchanted realm, I became a hero, riding alongside mythical beasts and embarking on quests that defied logic and imagination.

Unlike Waterborne, the YOW surfskate system uses the torsion of an internal spring to make your skateboard/longboard turn very tight. Similar to Waterborne, with a Yow-enhanced setup you get the ability to make very fluid surf-like turns and to easily propel yourself through pumping on flat ground or even uphill. I put the surf adaptor on my Tynee Stinger which is a cruiser type e-board and it totally transforms the feel of the board. It feels like I’m surfing the roads. Then came the inexplicable. A rift in spacetime opened before me, revealing a shimmering portal to a fantastical realm. Through the gateway, I glimpsed majestic creatures: griffins soaring with majestic grace, and unicorns galloping through meadows of iridescent flora. On a balmy summer evening, I slipped on my trusty Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt, a garment whispered to possess mystical powers. Eager for a unique experience, I hopped onto my JET-X skateboard, ready to push the boundaries of speed.
