DIFFERENCES SURF SKATE VS CRUISER

The surfskate and cruiser are two types of skateboards designed for different goals and riding styles. The main differences between a skate cruiser and a surfskate are:

• Surfskate: Designed to emulate the feel of surfing on asphalt. It allows for tight turns and surf-like maneuvers, which is ideal for training out of the water or for enjoying a surfing experience on land.
• Cruiser: Its main purpose is transportation and comfort over short distances. They are perfect for getting around town due to their ease of use and ability to travel on different surfaces.

SURFSKATE VS. SKATE CRUISER AXLES

Another aspect that distinguishes a skate cruiser and a surf skate are the axles. If we make a comparison between both systems we will see that:

• Surfskate: They come mounted with special axles that offer greater mobility and turning ability, allowing movements that mimic carving in surfing.
• Cruiser: Cruiser skateboards have more standard axles that are stable and robust, ideal for rolling in a straight line and with less emphasis on tight turns.
