Numerous skateboard brands such as Globe, Quiksilver or Arbor are now catching the surfskate wave and creating models in a variety of styles. The brands Carver and YOW are among the pioneers of these unique moves with their surfskates, which are inspired by surfing on ocean waves and are often used by surf pros for training in the dry. At Blue Tomato you can find surfskates in a wide range of different types and here we present the recommendations from our experts.
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.

Materials, shaping, art, and design come together beautifully in every aspect of Arbors handmade products.
Carver Skateboards
Bringing surfing to the streets, but how? A waveless summer in Venice Beach inspired Greg Falk and Neil Carver to experiment. In an old garage behind their house, they began to tinker with skateboards and in particular the trucks. Nowadays, Carver surfskates are in a class of their own and you can train for your next surf session every day.
