YOW Surfskates - Surf Training, On Land

YOW surfskates are designed to replicate the feeling of surfing on pavement, giving you the ability to train, carve, and flow when you’re not in the water. Built for surf-style movement, they’re one of the closest experiences to real surfing you can get on land.

At Surfboard Empire, we stock the full range of YOW surfskates in Australia, including models suited for beginners through to advanced surfers looking to refine rail-to-rail control, balance, and turn initiation.

Whether you’re looking to improve your surfing between sessions, build confidence in your turns, or simply enjoy the feeling of smooth carving on the street, YOW surfskates deliver a responsive and surf-like ride that stands out from traditional skateboards and cruisers.

FAQ

A YOW surfskate is a skateboard designed to mimic the movement of surfing. Using a specialised front truck system, it allows for deep carving, pumping, and fluid turns that closely replicate wave riding on land.

Yes. YOW surfskates are widely used by surfers to improve balance, timing, and turning technique. They help develop muscle memory for bottom turns, cutbacks, and flow between manoeuvres.

Shorter boards (around 27”–30”) are more agile and better for tight turns and street carving. Longer boards offer more stability and a smoother ride, making them ideal for beginners or relaxed cruising.
