SwellTech Surfskate, the surfskate to perfect your surf technique

Perfect your surfing with the SwellTech Surfskate , formerly called Surfskate Industries .

This American brand was born from the concern of a surfer to get a skateboard that would transmit the same sensations of water on asphalt.

It was then that Colin Newton decided to start his personal project, and with some old longboard trucks and parts that he found around his house, he developed the first prototype of the V-truck.

In 2017, they completely renewed it, looking for more stability and more surfing sensations, and in 2020 they made some adjustments to make the pumping smoother , and offer more durability to the external springs.

It is still a revolutionary system that rotates 360º on itself and now even pivots 60º to the right or left (the previous one pivoted 40º). This is the front axle, which with the help of a correct movement of our arms, shoulders and hips allows us total freedom on the direction in which we want the board to turn.

The rear axle also underwent modifications in 2017, making it an inch shorter, looking for more stability, and in 2020 they made it more robust , looking for more durability. This rear axle acts as the keels in the water, allowing good pressure to be exerted for turns.

At first it is not as intuitive and stable a board as a Carver with a CX axle , especially for riders who have never surfed or used a surfskate before, but once you learn how to use it, understand the correct placement of the feet and the body weights, it's a lot of fun and the feeling is total surfing.
