Surfboarding And The Evolution Of Skateboarding

Dec 03,2021

Surf Skateboard In China is sports equipment used by people for surfing. The first surfboard used was about 5 meters long and weighed 50-60 kg. After the Second World War, foamed plastic panels appeared and the shape of the panels improved. The surfboards currently used are 1.5 to 2.7 meters long, about 60 cm wide, and 7 to 10 cm thick. The boards are light and flat, with a slightly narrow front and rear ends, and a stabilizing tail fin at the bottom of the back. In order to increase friction, a waxy outer film is also coated on the surface of the board. The weight of all surfboards is only 11 to 26 kilograms.

In surfing, athletes lie on their stomachs or kneel on a surfboard, and use their hands to paddle to a place suitable for waves as a starting point. When the wave pushes the surfboard to slide, the athlete keeps the surfboard in front of the wave crest and stands up. The two legs are naturally opened back and forth (usually the balance leg is in front and the control leg is behind), and both knees are slightly bent and follow the wave. Glide fast, or use webs, kneeling boards, inflatable rubber cushions, rowing boats, kayaks, etc. to control the waves. No matter what kind of equipment is used, athletes must have high skill and balance ability, and at the same time must be good at wind and waves.

Land surfboard, Surfskate, as its name implies, is a skateboard that simulates surfing on the sea. The Skateboards on the ground are made with reference to this. Or it is called a surf training device, which allows surfers to glide on land indefinitely. Say goodbye to traditional skateboarding with feet on the ground and rely on left and right tilt changes to achieve advancement. Compared with traditional skateboards, it has higher grip performance, is less prone to injury, and is easier to get started quickly.
