YOW Waikiki 40" Classic Series Surfskate
Realistic longboard surf feeling for the streets
Waikiki Beach in Hawaii is considered the birthplace of modern surfing. Back in the early 1900s, this place experienced the renaissance of surfing as the "sport of kings". As the centrepiece of surf culture, Waikiki has become a globally revered spot among surfers. The YOW Waikiki is aimed at lovers of longboard surfing in its purest form. It is the ideal board for mastering techniques such as cross-stepping and noseriding. A unique feature of this board is the cork top, which is used instead of the usual griptape - perfect for barefoot skating after a long surf session.
Riding style
The movement on the YOW board is so similar to that on a surfboard that it acts as a surf trainer, as you directly learn the posture and weight shift required for surfing. The Byron Bay is designed for smooth longboard moves.
The YOW System
The latest generation YOW Meraki S5 Surfskate system is significantly lighter than its predecessor. The wide turn-in of the front truck enables tight turns, but is slightly less manoeuvrable than the S4 system thanks to the 5 mm spring. It was designed for riders over 50 kg body weight and for anyone who prefers a more stable ride.
Setup
The components are perfectly matched to the board. The soft wheels provide the best grip and speed, even on rough surfaces. The deck comes in a proven maple wood construction.
La couleur des roues et des trucks peut varier en raison de la pénurie de stock.

A propos de YOW
A passion and dream turned reality. YOW surfskate was created by three Spanish brothers who wanted to be able to come together in the same way as they did surfing as youngsters, even when there might not be an ocean near by. YOW surfskate is the closest thing to surfing on land, and its goal is to give you the same happy and relaxed feeling as cruising a wave. Each board is handmade with love and affection in the YOW factory in Spain.
