Surfskate Trucks

How Do Surfskate Trucks Function?

Surfskate trucks are arguably the most crucial component in capturing that surf sensation when riding your surfskate. Surf skateboard trucks allow for quick and sharp turns, providing a distinct experience compared to skateboard and longboard trucks.

With this truck system, most of the turning occurs with the front truck. Surfskate front trucks feature a distinctive design that incorporates either a swivel plate and a bushing, or a specialised bushing system. Some trucks, depending on their design, are perfect for surf training, while others are better suited for enjoyable carving down the pavement.

Surfskating is a relatively new sport, and each brand in the industry is continually advancing new truck systems with the aim of delivering the most genuine surf experience on the road.

What is the Optimal Tightness for Surfskate Trucks?

The choice is yours, but the tightness of your trucks greatly influences your ride. Tighter trucks provide a more stable and secure feeling. For beginners to surfskating, it is advisable to begin with tighter trucks and gradually loosen them. Looser trucks result in a more nimble and responsive ride, making pumping easier. Adjusting your trucks tightness is quite simple and can be done with most skate tools or an Allen key.
