The CitySurf board accomplishes this by virtue of its low, wide deck and its trio of smooth-rolling 200 mm wheels. It even has input for a windsurf sail, and features a unique foot retention system as well as a rear disc brake The Deska board's deck is constructed out of carbon fiber, Kevlar, stainless steel, aluminum, wood and fiberglass. It is equipped with a lowered foot platform that reduces the rider's center of gravity and gives them more control over movements. The designer of the Deska board, Hungary-based Csaba Tolgyesy, has taken to Indiegogo to raise funds for production of his ingenious invention. A pledge of $490 will secure you a Deska board if the campaign hits its fundraising goal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Surfing-inspired Skateboards:** The trend of surfing-inspired skateboards offers an innovative way for skateboarders to experience the feel of surfing on land. - **Low, Wide Deck Design:** The trend of using a low, wide deck design in skateboards provides riders with better control and stability for their movements. - **Integration with Other Sports Equipment:** The trend of integrating skateboards with other sports equipment, such as windsurf sails, opens up new possibilities for hybrid land-based water sports. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sporting Goods:** The sporting goods industry can explore the production of surfing-inspired skateboards to tap into the growing demand for unique and innovative boards. - **Action Sports:** The action sports industry can leverage the trend of low, wide deck design to offer skateboarders improved performance and thrilling experiences. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can benefit from the integration of skateboards with other sports equipment, creating new recreational activities and attracting a wider customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Modular Watersports Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watersports-board.md) - [Biotech-Informed Surfboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battboard-electric-surfboard.md) - [Adaptable Nine-in-One Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newave-modular-surfboard.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Hybrid Electric Surfer Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scubajet-hybridboard.md) - [Modular Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-electric-surfboard.md) - [Recycled Material Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lander-skateboard.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Ruggedized Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggedized-electric-surfboard.md)
