Beginner

Surfskate starts on flat ground.

No surf background needed. Stand, stop, pump, turn. Smooth ground only. Long lessons on YouTube. Short clips on Instagram. This is not a surf lesson and not a ski certification.

  1. 01

    Stand

    Board on flat ground. Feet over the truck bolts, knees soft, body slightly forward. A wall can help you find balance. Step off toward the toes — do not sit back.

  2. 02

    Stop

    Learn to stop before you learn speed. Drag the back foot or settle the speed, then step off. Skip slopes, crowds, and small stones.

  3. 03

    Pump

    Surfskate moves from a side-to-side body swing and pressure on the front truck. You do not need a hard skateboard push. Start small. Do not twist the front ankle hard.

  4. 04

    Turn

    Look where you want to go. Shoulders and hips travel together, then return to a surfer stance. Do not lean back in the turn.

Safety

Only on smooth ground. Small stones trip people. Pads help. Keep weight forward while you are new.
