Waterborne Surfskate Adapter Review

[@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS]

This is better than our videos

[@yoursource3170]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm loving my surf and rail adapter. You guys make an awesome product. Keep up the good work👍

@@yoursource3170 If you are interested in a new technology to experement with, you should really consider the FIN System. We just released it and are taking pre orders!

Your deck setup is on point. I like full using the full Waterborne setup (front/rear) with TKPs on a 9-10" wide board with a 17-19" wheelbase (inside truck mount to inside truck mount) and a kicktail. I'm using it on an Alva Aggression Fish 17" wheelbase, and also just put another set on my Backfire G3 with the Waterborne front carbon plate.

[@yoursource3170]

Sounds like you have a sweet set-up there. Nice👍

Rear trucks are still on backwards though

[@scrooner]

@@sageoz9886 Where? Link to the spot in the video.

[@sageoz9886]

@@scrooner lol sorry I feel that everyone has their rear trucks on backwards. If you are using the surf adapter on the front, you don’t need your trucks cutting wide. By flipping the rears to face with your fronts, you’ll gain huge stability at speed, better cornering and a more surf like feel when carving.

​@@sageoz9886What the frick are you talking about?! Flipping trucks makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of context.

[@teachercheung]

i think its a great combo for the longboard!

[@fitforfreelance]

Thanks for the review!

[@LukeMTB]

Looks awesome

[@sageoz9886]

Try flipping your rear trucks around, it improves handling

[@PascalKolkman]

You quickly mentioned it in the video review. But what electric skateboard do you ride there ?

[@mikeuptegrove]

Looks cool. What’s it like compared to a c7 or meraki? I like that you mention it’s quality. Do you think it could hold up to ollies? I like that motorized one. 🤙

[@yoursource3170]

I'm honestly not super well versed in surf skates. I'm just getting into them. I've never ridden a meraki but I have tried out a c7 that a friend of mine has. From my very brief time on the c7 I would say the waterborne is easier to pump and turn sharply but I did really like the mix of stability and carve on the c7. I think I might enjoy the c7 more than the waterborne if I were cruising longer distance on an analog setup. But I love the waterborne if I'm looking to either stay in a small area and practice sharp and snappy carves or ride an electric board for longer distance. I feel confident the waterborne would stand up to abuse quite well including ollies. Doing ollies would take some getting used to though with the rail adapter and the weight of the surf skate adapter would not make that ideal I would think. It's probably possible though with a bit of practice. Hope that info helps.

what is the length of the board for this? 5:11

[@lianpaul4185]

Does it smoothes the bumps as well? Do you think it would work on a mountainboard ? Thanks for the video

[@sageoz9886]

Water board sells carbon extension plates that flex and work really well for adding some suspension feel, especially if combined with some silicone riser pads. Most mountain boards have a proprietary bolt pattern for their trucks though

How is ur lacroix

[@yoursource3170]

I ended up selling it a few years back. Not because I got tired of it, in fact I still genuinely miss that board, but because at the time it the best decision financially. Of all the boards I’ve ridden personally it’s still one of my all time favorites. When I sold it my LaCroix was still in great condition and the last time I checked with the buyer it’s still going strong. Currently I’m riding a BKB duo which I also enjoy. I’ve been meaning to do a proper review of it but haven’t been able to yet.
