Designed for both skateboard and longboard trucks, the Waterborne Surf Adapter lets concrete riders experience the sensation of cutting into a giant wave. With the ability to mount onto any skateboard or longboard, the Surf Adapter will feel completely familiar to anyone who has ever ridden a surfboard. Riders taking advantage of this adapter will be able to pump, carve, and control slides like they would an actual surfboard, while also being able to make much sharper turns and change directions in a more frank way.
The Surf Adapter is not built with any specific style of skateboard or trucks in mind. Rather, the unique riding attachment can mount onto any deck shape and is meant to cater to personal styles of riding.
