Can You Cruise On A Surfskate?

Surf skates are a type of skateboard that simulates the experience of surfing on waves, making them ideal for cruising and carving. They can be used for commuting or taking a relaxing cruise that doesn’t require too much skill. However, they are looser and come with ultra-turning performance but still have the stability to make them an everyday cruiser board.

The main practical difference between a surfskate and a cruiser is that they are specialized types of boards and the motion they deliver depends on quality hardware. The true intention of a surfskate is for surfers who want to practice on concrete and use their skills on concrete.

There are several top surfskate brands, including Carver, YOW, Smoothstar, SwellTech, Slide, Waterborne, Curfboard, and SpiceSkate. These boards offer a stable feeling despite the flexibility of the board, allowing for carving, cruise, and pumping.

The Miller and G-Truck Surfskate system are just as fun with all three boards and the truck systems. They allow for carving, cruise, and pumping while maintaining a stable feeling despite the flexibility of the board.

While surf skates are looser and come with a higher bar of entry, they can also be used for cruising around town. The stable and smooth ride of surf skates makes them better for cruising for longer distances and over a wide variety of terrain. Most cruisers will be a little shorter and thinner than surfskate decks since portability is usually a main factor.
