Surfskate setup advice (YOW deck + Carver CX trucks)

I've been surfskating for about 6 months now. I can easily ride pumptracks and pump on flat ground, but I really want to start trying some tricks and riding bowls, and maybe even transition into regular skateboarding (I've kind of fallen in love with it).

I'm currently riding a 33" surfskate with Waterborne trucks (with the adapter) and Shark Wheels. It's a great surfskate, but I feel like it's mainly suited for cruising, pumping and pumptracks. So I've decided to buy/build a new surfskate that's a bit more versatile and better suited for tricks and bowl riding.

For reference, I'm 29F, 158 cm (5'2") and 49 kg (108 lbs).

I'm thinking of getting:

  • YOW Mundaka 32" High Performance Series deck
  • Carver CX surfskate trucks
  • YOW ABEC 7 Built-In Bearings
  • Orangatang 65mm Love Handles (80A) — or similar wheels around 80A or harder

Would this be a good setup for what I want to do? Is there anything you would change?

Thanks!
