Surfskate Trucks
If you’re looking to change your surfskate trucks or need a replacement, you’re in the right place. Surfskate trucks are the component that determines how the board responds when pumping, turning and carving. At Mundo-Surf you’ll find every model and type of truck you need to optimize your experience on the board.
Types of surfskate trucks: how to choose according to your needs
What types of surfskate trucks are there and how do they work?
There are two types of trucks on a surfskate.
The truck with an internal spring faithfully simulates surfing movements and sensations. It has a smooth pump, tight turns and the spring mechanism provides a natural rebound. This system is what really makes the difference for fluid carving and continuous, flowing maneuvers.
The springless truck is more traditional, with a pumping feel similar to a conventional skateboard. The bushing lets you experience a surfing sensation when pumping. In practice, this system is more stable in a straight line and requires less maintenance; it’s best when you prefer a more predictable turn.
What technical features differentiate surfskate trucks?
The first question when evaluating a truck is what its turning angle is, since this directly defines turning response. The kingpin and the trucks articulate the connection between deck and wheels, while the bushing provides resistance to turning. Our approach at Mundo-Surf is to guide you towards the system whose geometry best suits each person’s style.
The rebound of the mechanism and the turning angle vary between brands. Some trucks prioritize immediate response; others, stability. One thing to keep in mind is that the kingpin angle directly influences how the surfskate reacts to weight shifts while pumping.
When is it worth changing or replacing your trucks?
It’s worth considering changing your trucks when you notice loss of pump, slow turning or imprecise response. Bushing wear reduces carving smoothness. If you ride in demanding conditions or want to optimize your setup, trying trucks with different characteristics can completely change your experience on the board.
