Surfskate， as the name suggests, is a type of surfskate that simulates surfing on land, also known as a surfing trainer.

It allows surfing enthusiasts to glide infinitely on land, eliminating the traditional surf skate method of pushing with the feet and relying on tilting for forward motion.

With a spring structure, a specially designed propulsion system, and a front axle, the surf skate can be tilted to the extreme, creating a sensation of weightlessness to simulate surfing. The high controllability, combined with soft wheels similar to longboards, enhances grip performance, making it less prone to injuries than traditional surf skates and easier for quick mastery.

In urban environments, people can enjoy the thrill of surfing, and the joy of unlimited endurance allows individuals to train their bodies to quickly adapt to balance, significantly enhancing skills for surfing and snowboarding. It is suitable for working professionals and those with active lifestyles who may not have access to traditional surfing conditions.

Compared to surfing, surfing has a much shorter history. Although not precisely documented, the first surf skate emerged in California, USA, in the late 1940s to early 1950s. At that time, surfers sought to replicate the sensation of surfing on the sea when the waves were not ideal or the sea was calm.

A board with wheels on both ends was the first surf skate.

In the early stages of surfskateing, enthusiasts imitated various surfing manoeuvres, giving rise to a movement known as sidewalk surfing. However, as surfskateing developed its unique tricks and styles, it became increasingly associated with street culture, drifting away from its surfing roots.

Whether intentional or not, one day in a particular year, a surfskateer discovered that loosening the front wheels allowed for more tricks at the expense of stability, creating a sensation more akin to surfing on the sea. With the increasing looseness of the front wheels, a retro trend of wanting to surf on a surfskate gained popularity.

After numerous iterations, around the 1990s in California, a brand called Carver introduced the first actual land surfing board. Due to its superior surfing sensation, more surfers began using land surfing boards for training and improving their surfing techniques, propelling land surfing as a distinct branch within the surfskateing community and heading back towards the direction of surfing.

Structurally, the most notable feature of a land surfing board is the flexible connection between the front wheels and the board's bottom, allowing for a high rotation angle (up to 60 to 80 degrees).

In terms of appearance, land surfing boards generally have a more expansive deck than regular surf skates, and the nose of the board does not tilt upward. The tail may or may not be raised, depending on the brand.

Regarding ease of use, for complete beginners with no prior experience in board sports, regular surf skates are relatively more straightforward to stand on and find balance. In contrast, land surfing boards require better balance and more adapting time.

In terms of playability and entertainment, the fun and prestige of regular surfskateing often require unlocking advanced tricks, but in reality, mastering even a basic ollie is enough to discourage most beginners. Land surfing boards, on the other hand, are different.

; once you can stand on the board without falling and learn the essential pumping, you can quickly experience the pure joy of gliding, similar to surfing. You become the most extraordinary person on the street when you unlock advanced techniques such as bottom turns or cutbacks.

Unless you live near a beach with surf spots or have abundant resources, surfing is not easily accessible in terms of time and money. From a technical perspective, surfing is notoriously unfriendly to beginners, even with proper coaching. If you can stand up on the board in 1 out of 10 attempts, it's considered a remarkable achievement.

Even if you improve your skills, the nature of the sport means that you may spend 95% of your time not actually "surfing." Achieving one minute on a wave in the ocean takes considerable effort.

From this perspective, land surfing is genuinely user-friendly and cost-effective. Although it cannot fully replicate the thrill of riding through the crest of a wave, having some experience is better than none.
