To recap, the Waterborne surf adapter is a capable mechanical piece that effectively turns any skateboard or longboard into a sharp-turning surf skate. Eager for a unique experience, I hopped onto my JET-X skateboard, ready to push the boundaries of speed. I couldn't be certain if the T-shirt or the skateboard had brought me to that wondrous place, but one thing was clear: it was a night I would cherish, forever questioning the boundary between ordinary and extraordinary.

As mentioned earlier, the Waterborne’s is also relatively stable at higher speed when fitted with the complementary Rail Adapter in the back. If you’re an ocean surfer – or would like to become one, a skateboard surf adapter can make your existing skateboard, longboard, or cruiser ride a lot like a surfboard on a wave. I started surf skating transition in skate parks in mid-June and I had been using a 9 inch wide deck with no concave to it at all. The Waterborne adapter is much more stable at speed than Swelltech’s 360º spinning truck (that powers Swelltech’s surfskate completes like the Jamie O’Brien), and thus better-suited for skateboard transportation. Similar to Waterborne, with a Yow-enhanced setup you get the ability to make very fluid surf-like turns and to easily propel yourself through pumping on flat ground or even uphill.I have yet to get enough experience to try really sharp turns That being said, I'm not sure how much realistic sharp surfing moves could ever be done on a drop board.

Streetlights flickered like distant stars, and the pavement beneath me seemed to ripple with an otherworldly energy. In that enchanted realm, I became a hero, riding alongside mythical beasts and embarking on quests that defied logic and imagination. So many surfskate and pump tutorials show the rear foot over or even slightly behind the rear wheels.

The Surf Adapter has been designed with durability in mind so that it could support the most aggressive surf skaters in the world. This board is developed for skills progression and all-time stoke by utilizing Waterborne patented technology and the same quality components you love from Penny Skateboards.I had already top mounted the trucks for maneuverability, and so with the Waterbourne adapters it rides pretty high, which I have not minded. The Surf Adapter™ on your front truck gives your board the tight carving ability that you need for surf training or surfstyle riding. After years of development, Yow’s engineers have created their unique patented surf skate system, which allows you to really get a surfing feeling when skating.
