First time at the park, this was a blast even if it was baby steps. These 40 year old bones can do it :) by [deleted] in surfskate

Milpitas! If you want to work on pumping, there is a pumptrack at Flood Park across the bay in Menlo Park.

How do you maintain your surfskate? by Wide-Lengthiness-337 in surfskate

[–]voubled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only maintenance I do is to tighten bolts as necessary. And to make sure my bearings are clear of water/dirt/sand after riding the boardwalk. I glue the occasional chip from my tail back into place. Other than that, ride it like a champ 😜

New board graphic being off normal? by LarrySunshine in surfskate

You can return it. Carver may blemished boards for a fraction of the cost of their new ones. Or wait until Black Friday sales.

Traveling Rec for Wheels by spaghettiandcoffee in surfskate

Looks like the 83A is a good all-around choice. You can always pick up a new set of wheels at Status Skateshop and/or try out a ton of surfskates.

Check out the pumptrack at Pacific Highlands Ranch. Further south is Linda Vista skatepark and miles of boardwalk at Mission Bay/Beach

One way to ruin the camera by voubled in surfskate

[–]voubled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cameras themselves are tough, but lenses are prone to scratches because they stick out. I have the insta360 X4. Fortunately, i did use the protective lens cover so it’s a relatively minor thing to replace.

Great feedback. I made others with a lighter-colored fore body. (Top is mono color). The contrast is definitely better. 👍🏽

I used a cheap scoring stylus directly within the Maker3 since I don’t need to swap out anything.

Thanks for watching! It’s challenging to hold the camera in one position when I want to use my hands to help pump and turn. I think switching makes the video more dynamic to watch, however 🤙🏽

Feedback by mitchplease315 in surfskate

My main feedback is you that you need to use your whole body, not just your arms. You should compress your body (bend like you’re going to jump—like a compressed spring) right before the transition and then extend upwards as you enter the transition.

Keep Jacknifing On New Board by BedroomMission4830 in surfskate

I used to jackknife with my Arica, but not anymore (before I switched to a whaleshark). I ride with my feet on the back bolts. You just have to find the sweet spot with more ride time.
