En savoir plusSurfskate: Surf Training on Asphalt
Updated July 2026
A surfskate is a skateboard equipped with special trucks that replicate the sensations of surfing: fluid power delivery, committed turns, and natural pumping, without needing to push. It's ideal for practicing your surf when the sea is flat, for urban cruising, or for discovering board sports. At GlissEvolution, a shop established in Pornichet since 2005, we select the best products. This section is part of our surf world; also see our surfboards.
How it Works: The Trucks
It all comes down to the front truck, articulated to mimic the carving of a wave. The choice of system completely changes the board's behavior.
| System | Character | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| CX | Responsive and agile | Precise steering, skatepark, pumptrack |
| C7 | Fluid and flexible | Surf sensations, carving |
| Triton | Allround, accessible | Start surfskating |
The length, concave, and wheelbase further refine the ride, adapting to your skill level and body type.
Which Surfskate for Your Use?
For surf training, you'll want a flexible truck like the C7, which faithfully reproduces the power delivery of a wave. For cruising and carving, an allround board offers fun sessions and smooth rides. For pumptrack and skatepark, a responsive CX truck provides speed, acceleration, and precision for tricks.
