Hey, what else! Today we're here to talk about a growing trend in the skate scene: surfskating! If you're a wave lover but stuck in the city, or you live on the coast but the weather isn't good, or you just want to improve your technique, surfskating could be the perfect alternative.
What is surfskating?
Surfskating is a skateboarding discipline that simulates the motion and sensation of riding a wave. Surfskating uses a skateboard specifically designed for this sport, which has a flexible axle that allows for wider, more fluid movements, mimicking the movements of surfing.
Why choose surfskating?
One of the biggest advantages of surfskating is the ability to surf in the city, without having to wait for vacation to go to the beach. Plus, surfskating allows you to improve your surfing technique and train your physical fitness outside of the water. Some skaters also say that surfskating relieves stress and helps them clear their minds.
How to get started in surfskating?
If you already have experience skateboarding, the transition to surfskating may be easier. However, if you're a beginner, it's important to take the time to learn the basics of skateboarding before venturing into surfskating. Once you're confident on the board, start practicing surfskating-specific moves, such as wide turns and weight transfer.
Light up the asphalt with surfskating!
If you're a city wave lover, surfskating may be just what you're looking for. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, hop on your board and start feeling the thrill of gliding through the streets with the same speed and energy as an ocean surfer! Always remember to protect yourself with a helmet and protective gear, and let it flow!
