The Skateboard Surf Adapter

Product Description

The Surf Adapter by Waterborne Skateboards

The Surf Adapter is a durable coupling that sandwiches between your board's deck and front truck. Your skateboard, longboard, or drop-through board will feel completely familiar, but now bolstered with the ability to pump, carve, and control slides with the precision, style.

Hardware and riser included - MADE IN USA.

What board works best with the Surf Adapter?

Whatever board you're most comfortable with. The deck shape that your feet are used to standing on, and the wheels that you know the limit of grip of are going to be the best fit for you. It all comes down to your personal preferences and skating style. Having said that, park wheels with a high duro aren't a great fit because the low speed grip just isn't there. Also, most people loosen up their trucks a bit when they start using the Surf Adapter. The adapter uses the new school bolt pattern for the truck mounting surface and can mount to a new school or old school deck.

Please contact Amazon seller Waterborne Skateboards regarding fitment to your board or any other inquiries. You can also visit our website at www.waterborneskateboards.com for more info. Refunds and repairs available.

I installed this in my Meepo V2, it's insane!! So much fun and improved maneuvering, i Hill bombed at +30mph and it was very stable. I use very hard bushings in the rear truck tho. Watch my video!

Super fun

So much fun! Great for practicing surf turns. Especially helpful for practicing keeping ur speed thru the turns. Every little driveway ramp is now a little concrete wave!

Had this thing for about a month now, still getting used to it, but
1) going fast is pretty scary. I reckon you get the most out of it at medium, or even slow speed.
2) the adopter looks and feels sturdy. I reckon it'll last. It is also quite heavy, and having that weight at the end of the board means u have to adjust a bit, especially the kick turns etc.

I mounted it on a Globe cruiser (33 inch long, see pic). That thing was pretty loose to begin with but you cannot compare the maneuverability to that of the adopter. It is a whole other thing. Can't wait to try it on a skate park.

One thing is that the cruiser came with angled spacers so I could not use the ones supplied with the kit. The result is that the front of the board is now a bit higher than the back, but I don't reckon that makes too much of a difference.

I find that this setup is a bit too long for me (I'm 167cm, 63kg, mind u). I think it'd be perfect with an old school 30inch deck with a bit of width to it.

All n all I'm super happy with it. Helps keeps this land bound surfer sane!

Fun addition to a longboard.
by jeremy nussbaumer (4 out of 5 stars)

It's a fun mix up on longboarding. I wouldn't say it's exactly like surfing maybe if you put one on the back as well. Definitely decreases the turning radius dramatically and will allow you to pump the board on a flat surface.

The adapter is bulky and long. I had hoped to fit it on my Boosted board but the battery is in the way.

My advice is loosen your rear trucks as much as possible, go slowish, and enjoy the turns.

Would I purchase again? Yes, but I feel like the price point is more like $40-50.

I'm 55 and got this for my longboard. Hopefully to make it more like my longboard surfboard. WOW did it work. It's so good that I ride the skateboard every day now.

Ditch Carver, Surfskate, or RipSurf -- this is legit!
by Big Ess from the Salish Seas (5 out of 5 stars)

This simple adapter is super legit for surf inspired carving and cross-training on your skateboard. I was looking heavily into the surfksates and Carver style skateboard completes, but then discovered this on some message boards.

I'm over 30yo, have skated and snowboarded since a teen, and have more recently gotten into surfing. This is a great cross training tool for improving your surfing. The next waves I caught in a sessions after using this for a week had immediate impact on my fluidity and transition between turns and getting down the line quicker. The best part is it'll work with your current skateboard/longboard and you don't need to buy a new pricey complete to satisfy your surf cross-training or carving skate style.

I would recommend putting this on a 30"+ cruiser or longboard style skateboard, not your street popsicle deck you take to the park.

Super fun add-on to your skateboard and gives it a soulful, pump-able carve that legitimately feels like you are surfing.

More turning capability than slice street
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
June 15, 2019

I put this on my ten toes longboard. It now has a better turning radius than the slide street that my sister purchased. Perfect for improving my balance on my longboard once I'm in the water, trying to stand on my 9' longboard to ride a wave. Also allows me to practice my turns and satisfies my need for surfing on days I can't go for whatever reason (like after a rain or when I've been sick/busy/unable to get in the water).

WOW!!

SURFSKATE ADAPTOR: Got the surfskate adapter and mounted it on my deck and after a month I am absolutely in love with it. This is how skating should always have been, I can do everything I can on a regular board but with 100% more maneuverability. And their customer service is just top notch.

RAIL ADAPTOR: I didn't get the adaptor till later as I didnt think it would add something. Boy, was I wrong! Adds about 30% more maneuverability and I can do things on the street now that literally make people stop and stare with their mouths agape, plus it makes me able to do powerslides and still keep a grip on the board. This setup is life-changing!

Better than a Carver skateboard!
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
July 28, 2019

Wow! What a great truck! I wanted to buy Carver skateboard and I tried a few, and liked them, but didn't want to cough up the dough to purchase one. Took a chance on this truck and man I'm glad I did! It has a more natural flow like surfing than the Carver setup at a fraction of the cost. I was a little concerned about the height it added to board but then I hopped on and went for a ride. If want a skateboard that feel like surfing, buy it, you'll be glad you did!

Rides like a Surf and Snowboard!

I've tried different longboards and the surf adapter is the only one I found that let's you carve like a surf and snowboard.

I put it on a downhill deck to get closer to the road and get more wheel clearance. Great for flat surf and no snow days, has the same feel! Would recommend for carving sessions!

Really is like asphalt surfing.

This is the coolest thing ever! It really does simulate what you do on a wave when you're surfing. My friend from Hawaii says the same.
