At first, we were sceptical about the Waterborne Skateboards surf skate and rail adapter fin system. But that very first surf skating session opened our eyes to its performance. Appreciated, some differences between skateboards can be subtle. And so it is with the surf rail. We find it allows riders to equal the pressure out between front and back foot when going heel side to toe side and back. Rather than being overly front foot biased.
Of course, if you want to alternate foot pressure, depending what you’re doing, then you can. And that’s the key takeaway when using the Waterborne Skateboards surf skate and rail adapter fin system. It allows flexibility as opposed to being locked into one way of riding. Ultimately adding the surf rail gives around 30 degrees more deck lean than riding with just the front surf adapter.
Skaters will also find pumping is more efficient with the Waterborne Skateboards surf skate and rail adapter fin system. That means greater distances covered, or more speed gained quicker, but with less effort required. Less effort means less fatigue. And less fatigue means MORE fun!
Surfing on land does a surf skate mimic this?
The big question with surf skating is: does it mimic surfing on land? That comes down to how you actually ride. For some skaters, it does whilst for others it’s more of a way to unlock super maneuverable skateboarding.

How the Waterborne Skateboards surf skate and rail adapter differs from other surf skate systems on the market –
The Waterborne Skateboards surf skate and rail adapter fin system doesn’t rely on any kind of heavy metal or spring loaded mechanism. Instead, Waterborne Skateboards use a high rebound urethane bushing for a softer, more authentic and limitless carving experience. The Waterborne system is the newest on the market but in our opinion, it’s the most innovative. One of the big reasons Waterborne doesn’t rely on metal is because of the wear and tear issue and corrosion.
Stress tested to 680kg the Waterborne Skateboards front surf skate adapter truck is tough as old boots and is guaranteed not to break. In fact, so confident in its performance are we that the adapter comes with a lifetime guarantee.
