The Carveboard is different from the traditional skateboard in a few key ways that make it ideal for practicing your surf technique/style. Unlike normal skateboards that limit turn radius and have little flexibility the Carveboards patented design makes it truly ride like a board on a wave. You can literally grab and dig in your rail and mimic riding backside on a wave. The freedom of movement with this design allows the rider to experience on land the same types of movements used in bottom turns and cutbacks. It forces the rider to synchronize their upper body movements to the board and helps improve your balance in ways that never before were possible out of the water. The fat wheels and steel spring suspension make it feel as if you’re riding on top of the pavement. The carveboard has three designs: the carveboard, surfstik and longstick.
To have a way to practice all of the main features of surfing on land is an invaluable tool that can only help improve your surfing and can even help maintain your stoke while staring at a flat ocean. The people at Carveboard USA have created a unique and important tool for surfers who are stranded on land and I highly recommend this product if keeping your stoke and reaching the next level in board riding are your priorities.
