Surfskate Bushings

Carve and Pump With Surfskate Bushings

The flexibility of your truck is influenced by surfskate bushings. This is crucial when surfskating, as the aim is to replicate that surfing sensation with numerous deep carving turns. You should take into account three factors with bushings: the style, the hardness (durometer), and your weight.

While a significant part is based on personal preference, many enthusiasts within the surfskate community favour softer bushings to achieve responsive trucks that are ideal for carving. Opting for a combination of cone and barrel shapes in your bushing arrangement should provide a satisfactory range of motion. As a general guideline regarding weight, the heavier you are, the harder the bushing should be.
