Surfskate Riser Pads

Prevent Wheelbite With Surfskate Risers

For an authentic surfing sensation on your board, it’s essential to have a configuration that allows a lot of lean while riding. If your deck frequently touches your wheels, it's advisable to replace your surfskate riser pads.

These are flat components crafted from either rubber or plastic, placed between your trucks and deck. They serve to elevate the wheels from the surfskate deck, and they are available in various thicknesses to meet your requirements.

Riser pads provide a cost-effective and straightforward solution to prevent you from losing balance on your board and protect it from damage. Additionally, the risers suitable for surfskating are compatible with skateboards and longboards, meaning you might already possess some that suit your setup. If you are uncertain about your hardware's compatibility, refer to our handy guide on Buying Skateboard Bolts & Risers.

When skating on irregular surfaces like a boardwalk, consider using shock pads. These not only increase the board's height but also minimise vibrations and cushion impacts.

Ensure you have the appropriate Surfskate Tools to make any modifications to your setup.
