Freedom is one of the main things almost everyone seeks and some sports can bring anyone closer to that feeling. For instance, surfing gives a sense of liberation and a breathing space as it puts you in direct contact with the sea and nature.
But can’t you get the same surfing freedom on land? Of course, you can! In the absence of the sea, you can hit the streets and surf the concrete through surfskate!
Surfskating is a form of skateboarding that replicates the feel of surfing on a wave, on dry land. Using a unique kind of skateboard that simulates surfboard behavior, this sport allows you to practice body coordination, flow, and balance on concrete.
You heard that right! Not only surfskating gives you an on-land surfing experience on flat days, but it also improves your surfing skills exponentially. It gives you the opportunity to replicate and refine the body mechanics of what you do in the water harmoniously.
BETTER BALANCE AND PROPER BODY POSITION
Balance plays an important role in surfing. Surfskating gives you a chance to get stability on a board so you can improve your balance faster while learning the correct body position for you to be able to pop up quickly and hit more and longer waves.
CORRECT STANCE
Surfskating will teach you to adapt the proper posture and show you where to position your feet. One key factor of good surfing is correct foot placement for turning and doing tricks. By learning the correct stance, you will be less likely to make too many mistakes.

WHY SURFSKATE IS IMPORTANT FOR SURFING
Posted On : Fri/2022/07
GENERATE SPEED
Learning the right movements on a surfskate will directly translate to your movement of pumping on a surfboard. With more speed, you will be able to pass wave sections better, faster, and more dynamically.
IMPROVE MUSCLE MEMORY AND MOTOR SKILLS
To build up more spontaneous and coordinated muscle memory, you need to repeat movements over and over again. Repeating movements on your surfskate will allow you to perform the same on your surfboard without conscious effort.
Aside from decreasing your need for attention and enabling your maximum motor and memory skill efficiency, repetition allows you to add style, flare, and creativity to your maneuvers.
As you enhance your technique, your surfing style will improve. As for us, there is no better introductory way to practice your surfing skills than hitting the roads with a surfskate.
In need of more convincing? Surfskating is not just for surfers! It’s for everyone who loves freedom and wants to experience a new, unique, and liberating style of riding!
