10 Cheap Surfskates to Avoid—and 2 Good Ones

The speaker cautions against investing in cheap surfskates, which can range from $270 to $429, and instead recommends investing in a better-quality board. After testing 83 surfskate models and 37 trucks, the speaker identifies three brands to avoid: Flow, NKX, and Charger-X. They advise starting with a better brand to ensure continued improvement and avoiding low-quality boards that may need replacement. The speaker critiques several surfskates, including the Decathlon Carve 540, Landyachtz Butter Lines, and TailorShape, deeming them poor in range of motion, versatility, and true surfskate functionality. They recommend the Carver Triton series as their top pick, with a lower-quality deck and flatter profile, but still suitable for surf training and other applications. The Carver CX trucks are a highlight, being universal and versatile. The second pick is the Slide surfskate, priced around $219, which is functional but has limited range of motion and less rail-to-rail lean.
