Riding Invisible Waves on an Electric Surf Skate

[@MellowBoards]

Just for clarification: The bolt that tightens and loosens the truck is the spring bolt close to the deck not the pivot bolt that is shown in the video. sorry for any confusion.

[@zappyzane]

Yeah I was just going to point that out, see guidance here: www.longboarderlabs.com/faq/carver-tune-up-tips/ " DO NOT ADJUST THE FRONT PIVOT BOLT! This is the bearing for the swing arm and it wants to be snug but not too tight, as you can overtighten this bolt and damage the bearings inside. The way to adjust the internal spring which controls the arm tension is with the 1/2” Spring Bolt located on the baseplate at the back of the truck. " Maybe you should edit that and re-upload?

[@MellowBoards]

1:05 don't touch this screw, only locknut kingpin and pumping springbolt

[@bayly1977]

1:28, where is that? Eriders dream

[@SasoCasablanca63]

Wow, surfer and surf skater here, and have been looking for this a long time. Awesome. Where Can I get one in the US?

[@sharky1854]

i think the have gone out off buisness but revel boards offers a simular product

[@LoU077]

One great way to ride with the surf skate is to hit it in endless and keep your speed by pumping. It allows you to go forever without touching the remote

[@koen9587]

Been thinking about this combo since I learned about Mellow! I think it would be especially nice with the endless mode - keep pumping for speed. Would love some 65/70mm wheels for it tho because these large wheels decrease the surfskate's performance a bit.. Do you plan on making smaller wheels?

[@adt3030]

you can still keep smaller wheels in the front.

[@koen9587]

​@@adt3030 Sure but it doesn't work well with two different wheel sizes on the same board..

[@simontomkinson533]

I am really interested in getting a Mellow Drive to combine with my #YOW surf skate would you recomend the S Drive? Or the other one. Also think about it guys smaller back drive wheels means smaller motors!!! And that cant be good at least untill like technology enables Mellow to make motors smaller but with the same power.

[@kovaryzoltan1859]

how does endless mode work with pumping? Can I free roll, then just add some extra juice when I start to slow down, or get to a hill?

[@shattereddnb3268]

Was that 80mm 80A wheels? Will you be selling these any time soon? Any chance for a 80mm 76A?

[@onegridmusic]

do you ship in the Philippines or Hong Kong?

[@emonty62]

great to fool the cops!!!

[@MellowBoards]

totally

[@TonyNietnagel]

Could you add a link for more info on these trucks? Pretty please

[@koen9587]

It's a Carver C7 truck. There are better ones out there tho :p (smoothstar/YOW/Swelltech)

[@janhedegaard7318]

I have tried allt three (c7, yow and smoothstar) on an electric board and would say that it depends on your stile of riding. No one of them is better

[@koen9587]

@@janhedegaard7318 Yea that's true all of them are good trucks for different riding styles. But as a surfer looking of best "surf-like" performance, the ones with the greatest possible rotation (Smoothstar/Yow) will be better. I do think that the Carver trucks are better for regular skating/carving because they are a bit more stable, especially the CX. It's all preference I guess.

[@janhedegaard7318]

@@koen9587 Agree. For surf simulation yow/smoothstar are the king:) I really enjoy c7 with the electric board because of the stability. I use ride unlimited brand for the board. Could be nice to try mellow :)

“Aloha” intro was trashy and in bad taste

[@joeryan8045]

Also fuck electric - buy a normal surf skate and just pump
