Surfskate Bushings

Carve and Propel With Surfskate Bushings

The flexibility of your truck is influenced by surfskate bushings. This is crucial when surfskating, as you aim to replicate that surfing sensation with numerous deep carving turns. Three key considerations are the style of bushings, their hardness (durometer), and your weight.

While much of it is based on individual preference, numerous riders within the surfskate community favour softer bushings for more responsive trucks ideal for carving. A combination of cone and barrel shapes in the bushing setup can provide a good range of motion. Regarding weight, the general guideline is that increased weight necessitates harder bushings.
