Waterborne Surf Adapter REVIEW | Loaded Omakase

[@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS]

You are definitely getting the hang of pumping! It is just one of those things that takes time on the board. Stoked that you like them so much! Sorry about the installation hassle. That is the toughest part about making something that fits every board out there because there is so much variety. We are coming out with a new version of the Surf Adapter that will be able to fit Paris trucks without any risers. We should have those in late July-early August.

[@gooz]

Thanks! Haha yeah, I’ll be putting the time in for sure. It’s all good, I can see how designing a universal adapter could be tough since each board and truck is slightly different. I’m just glad it only took some riser pads to make it work for the Paris trucks and I’m able to ride my board with your adapters! It’s great you guys are responding to the reviews and are working on a Surf Adapter that’s able to also fit Paris trucks. I’ll be sure to buy the new version too and put up a video review. My friend’s so excited after seeing the video that she’ll probably be the new owner of my current adapter once the new version comes out!

Hey, I found it a bit finicky installing mine too, and one of the reasons was the tight spaces for the bolts. I was trying to use a pretty thick spanner wrench that couldn't move very far without making contact with the adapter parts. I wonder if you would consider going ikea style and including a little throwaway wrench that is small cheap, but perfectly sized for quick installation?

[@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS]

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer Yea, we actually have included spanner sets like you recommended in the past. They were quite useful for tightening the bolts that attach the Surf Adapter to the deck, if you don't have a wrench or pliers to hold those from spinning, while you tighten the bolts with a phillips head screwdriver. then the best way to tighten the nuts that attach the Surf Adapter to the front truck is with a skate T tool or a socket.

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

@@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS It was actually the rail adapter that I found trickier since you can't get a skate tool in there!

[@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS]

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer ahhh I see what you mean, and when one set of nuts is in there, it can be trickier to get to the other, especially with a larger adjustable wrench. Ok, we are going to work on this.

[@doans1297]

Hey Trud I bought this adapter and install it to my Meepo eboard and it really works. The carving increases dramatically and it’s pretty awesome carving like you are snowboarding. Thanks and keep up your good work!

[@gooz]

fernando gonzales hey Tito I’m glad you’re enjoying it!😊 I look forward to trying your Meepo eboard with the Waterborne adapters next time I visit. You’re welcome! Thanks for your support and will do😁

[@adpbobcat]

This is a late reply, but do you still like it? How was the speed wobble?

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

Nice! I like the timing shortcuts you integrated - Might steal that for my review!

[@gooz]

Go for it! I got the idea from another video :)

[@hyperfoxartist9]

i have Paris V3 trucks, so i definitely felt my heart sank when you said it didnt fit right, but i'll try your workaround when i get my surf adapter

[@gooz]

Hey joseph Foxxo, good news! After I made this video, Waterborne commented that any adapters ordered after July/August 2020 will fit Paris V3 trucks👍🏼

[@hyperfoxartist9]

ayyy thanks for the update, I'm gonna buy my surf adapter tomorrow on payday

[@gooz]

@@hyperfoxartist9 you’re welcome! Sounds good and I hope you enjoy it😊

[@icorsaridiumbar]

Ora hanno adattato anche per i Paris V3. Io ho il Waterboard kit con le piastre in bamboo.

[@ricebandit]

This was a really good well filmed and edited video. Major props!

[@gooz]

VonW thank you!😁

[@natwouldratherbe]

Great breakdown and review. Thanks so much for the effort you put behind this content. Hope you're still having a blast on this setup!

[@gooz]

Hey Nat Ruge, you’re welcome and I appreciate your comment! I’ve got it on smaller wheels now and an old school deck😁

[@DesignatedHealer]

You only have 9 subs? This vid was insanely high quality dude. I'll make it 10.

[@gooz]

Tyson Walker thanks man😁 I appreciate you saying that and subscribing. You got us to double digits!

[@AdrienCaudron]

Polished production. - thanks for the review! I have a loaded poke with those same surf adapters and this setup shreds big time as well!

[@gooz]

Thank you Adrien!😁 you’re welcome and that’s a good idea. The Loaded Poke with the adapters sounds like it would!

[@doans1297]

Good job Trud. I like it. Very impressive review

[@gooz]

fernando gonzales thank you Tito😊🙏🏼

[@AdnanCucak]

Sincerely wish I watched this video BEFORE I ordered my Waterborne surf adapter!

@@gooz Smooth! You got it

[@gooz]

Thanks @@AdnanCucak!

[@jamessusbilla]

thank *YOU*. i have the loaded poke and just ordered the waterborne adapter combo.

[@kerrywilliams5848]

Hi, was wondering how wide are your trucks?..I have the same deck and was weighing up the 165mm v 180mm. Any thoughts?

[@jamessusbilla]

@@kerrywilliams5848 hi kerry. my trucks are about 9.5 inches end to end. it's the Paris V3 truck 180mm 50 degrees. works perffect. i don't have much insight to give any opinion on the 165mm. you might have to do some additional research as i've seen a video where the person had to make his waterborne fit on his board and trucks.

[@tuoke]

Thanks, good info!

[@icorsaridiumbar]

Congratulations for the comprehensive video. Luckily my Waterboard model is also modified to mount on the Paris Trucks. I wanted to ask you how long are your trucks 180mm/165mm/150mm? Thanks for your answer.

[@elielstarbright]

Hi Mark you might want to try the Curfboard trucks. I got the Waterborne before I got the Curfboards truck and I never have gone back to the Waterborne truck for some of the same reasons you stated.Curfboard work so much better for pumping and carving , lower to the ground and not heavy!

[@gooz]

Hey Eliel thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to try the Curfboard trucks at some point! Especially being lighter and closer to the ground. Have you tried SwellTech surfskates? I’m wondering how the Curfboard trucks compare to SwellTech ones.

[@elielstarbright]

@@gooz No i have not and only tried Waterborne front and did not get the back part. I am thinking of putting it back on my long board and getting the back part .

[@elielstarbright]

@@gooz No i have not. I will check it out.

[@gooz]

Eliel Starbright sounds good! Let me know how it is :)

[@johnnysong9677]

a problem is that paris v3 trucks plus waterborne adapter with 75mm wheels makes it too heavy!

[@OldDolio312]

Gonna go for this setup with the unlimited x loaded race kit. Can you explain more why the adapter didn’t fit and how you made it?

[@horse_dog]

Looks interesting, although I just started skating lol. I’ll wait a bit to get comfortable on my normal board, this looks really sick tho

[@gooz]

Gavin McKay hey that’s awesome you started! Skateboarding or longboarding? Yeah I recommend getting comfortable before putting on the adapters, and when you’re ready they’ll be fun to use

[@horse_dog]

Mark Daniel • gooz it’s a landyachtz Dinghy. It’s super fun. I actually started in like July but I haven’t gone out too much cuz of how hot it’s been, but now that it’s cooling off where I live I’m gonna go out a lot more now

[@gooz]

Gavin McKay a lot of people get the Dinghy as their first board and it sounds like a good one! I plan on learning sliding and the cooler weather is way more comfortable for it

[@sskateken2732]

nice review good edit :)

[@gooz]

Thanks Ken😁

[@patrician3guidaallimperode222]

Can you tell me the wheelbase of that skateboard with waterborne installed on?

[@gooz]

Sure! The Loaded Omakase has a wheelbase of 20.75-22" / 52.7-55.8 cm depending on where you place your trucks.

[@patrician3guidaallimperode222]

​@@gooz thank you man. I installed waterborne on a 31" fish shaped deck with a 17" wheelbase, but i'm trying to get a 16"/15" to get a better surfskating and radical moving. I like your setup because is very chill out for curving and pumping on medium distances, nice job 🤙

[@prem-chanom]

I want to know the size of the wheels you use. I used 70mm and put the raiserpad. But it still bites the board. ..thanks

[@gooz]

Hey Paaz they’re the Orangatang 75mm In Heat wheels with a 1/4” riser pad. You could try changing to stiffer bushings

[@gooz]

And I’m using Paris 165mm 50° Trucks

[@erickkusumapunzalan6412]

Hi, do you think what is the best setup for a cruiser deck with waterborne adapter? Tq (reserve kingpin or traditional kingpin trucks)

[@gooz]

Hey Erick, I got the following info from quickquiver.com/2020/08/26/waterborne-surf-adapter-review/#RKP_vs_TKP “I personally preferred using the larger setup with RKP trucks. However, a TKP setup worked well on the smaller deck. You turn in much more rapidly with TKP trucks though, and that’s magnified substantially by the surf adapter. My recommendation would be to learn on a RKP, and perhaps set it up with TKP trucks on a cruiser once you’re good at surfskating. But if you want to just jump right in, the TKP setup on a smaller board was a lot of fun, even if it’s a bit more difficult. I think you should still stick to keeping a TKP setup on a shorter board when you want that quick and snappy feel, and the RKP on a longer setup for the flowing and powerful pumping.”

[@DeserteagleNL]

What size trucks do you ride this with?

[@gooz]

Hey DeserteagleNL I use Paris 165mm 50° trucks

[@watatabee7917]

what deck are you using

[@gooz]

Omakase by Loaded Boards

[@Prince_Sharming]

Whoa! Never seen them before they look super dope. I was actually just hunting around for reviews on this board itself. Do you like it so far? I'm not sure I'm going to get the adapter, though. I hope it'll be easy enough to pump by itself.

[@gooz]

I like the Omakase! It’s comfortably wide and I got a setup with huge wheels for smooth riding, making it a good cruiser. With its regular trucks, though, it might be tough pumping it while the adapters make it so much easier. But if you’re looking for a good board dedicated to pumping without using the adapters, I’d recommend the Loaded Poke “surf simulator” setup (using Carver trucks). I’ll post reviews of them both soon!

[@Prince_Sharming]

@@gooz A review of the omakase as well you mean? If so that would be amazing. There's barely anything about this board online.

[@gooz]

Yes the Omakase and Poke! I felt the same way as you looking for reviews which is why I’ve wanted to post my own

[@Prince_Sharming]

@@gooz I eagerly await your omakase one then :)

[@gooz]

@Locke my Omakase review is up! Let me know if it helps :)

[@wizard42069]

can you drop in on vert with these?

[@gooz]

Jared P anything’s possible😉 you can, but if you plan on getting air, keep in mind it’ll be a lot heavier of a board with the adapters. Surfers drop in and train on transition using surf-skates with setups similar to the one in the video

[@godjesus3232]

are the riser pads 1/8 or 1/16?

[@gooz]

1/4”

[@L4STF0RG1VEN]

Does it work on Landyachtz Dinghy well? Any experiences? Thanks!

[@gooz]

Hi L4STF0RG1VEN, apparently having the Waterborne adapters on a Dinghy allow very tight turns and make it easier to snap slides because of the shorter wheelbase

[@gooz]

You’re welcome!😁 here, for more info: www.reddit.com/r/surfskate/comments/gmolyg/landyatchz_dinghy_with_surf_trucks/? www.reddit.com/r/longboarding/comments/gchlh0/conversion_complete_dinghy_setup_with_waterborne/?

[@L4STF0RG1VEN]

Awesome thanks!

[@jayguerrerolifestyle]

Hi! I just bought mine can I ask if what size of wheels you are using? Thanks.

[@gooz]

Hi Jay! They’re 75mm (Orangatang In Heat wheels).

[@jayguerrerolifestyle]

@@gooz Cool hope my waterborne will fit on my oxelo surfskate I'm just worried too based on your review.

[@gooz]

Jay Guerrero which Oxelo surfskate do you have? If anything, the adapters should fit on standard longboard and skateboard trucks so that could be another option if you have another longboard. Could you please let me know if they fit on your Oxelo’s surfskate trucks?

[@radekswiderski6283]

Awesome vid. What’s the name of that deck? It’s just what I’m looking for.

[@gooz]

Thanks Radek! The deck is the Loaded Omakase. I have a video posted where I review it :)

[@Dominik047]

Could you recommend this to someone learning how to skate?

[@gooz]

Dominik Warren Yes, but I would recommend getting comfortable on just your board first (riding, pushing and carving) before putting the adapters on, because it’ll feel much looser and you’ll need more control.

[@alva1325]

你应该用 carver CX 会更有趣

[@gooz]

我在《我的世界》的其他视频评论中使用了Carver CX.4 / C2.4

[@gooz]

我更喜欢Carver CX。 你呢？

[@knotingspecific]

You foot position is not safe for a surfskate

You wanna surf skate? Waterborne is it! All them other surf skate boards are duds!

Which other surf skates have you tried?

You got onlyfans?
