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!
