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.
