Yo, wax-heads – Surf’s up at Basement Skate. We stock a quality selection of the finest Surf Skate cruiser skateboards available in Australia. This year we have seen a bunch of new players enter this space with a diverse range of truck mechanisms. Without further adieu, here is our Top 5 Surf Skates 2022 list and recommendations for surfing the streets like your on the Pro Tour.


GET THE SWELLTECHNIQUE : The Swell Tech Hybrid Camo 36″ SurfSkate Complete Cruiser is at the top of our list this year as it’s the board with a mechanism that will most closely replicate the feeling of a real surfboard. It’s 360 degree swivel truck also allows for more realistic surf moves like cut backs on the street. If you drive the nose down you’ll slam it into the ground, much like a real surfboard. That being said it is the most difficult to master but once you get the feel for it, it will also continue to challenge you as you replicate and train for moves to take to the water.


IIt is s built with Swell Tech’s unique SurfSkate System to unlock the most realistic surfing experience imaginable. The Swell Tech trucks allow super smooth rotation so you can perform deep carves and snappy slashes. Swell Tech Surf trainers provide the closest feeling to carving tight roundhouse cutbacks, whipping snaps and slashes, and pulling into deep pits. Dial in your barrel stance, open your shoulders in carves, and perfect your bottom turns even when it’s blown out or dead flat. The Swell Tech front trucks set you free on the streets with a loose surfy feeling to pull 360 slides and tight snappy maneuvers.


We recommend this board to riders 4’10’ to 5’10 or 149-170cm tall. *Note, These heights are only suggestions, any rider can shred any board*


LOST IN TRANSITION : Carver make some quality cues for your quiver and we love this one. Mainly because it has artwork by one of our favourite artists, Sydney based Ben Brown. Ben has created amazing Rock, Surf and Skate artwork for over 40 years and a classic BB surfing skeleton on a tie dye background for this one is perfect!


The Lost Rocket Redux C7 30″ comes equipped with Carver’s signature truck that started it all – the C7 System.


The smoothest turning, fastest pumping surf truck ever made, maintaining its leading edge of true surfskate performance. The patented second axis of this front truck not only increases the turning radius of your carve but lets you snap the nose and pivot your turns off the tail. This dynamic creates thrust and drives you forward with increasing speed. The striking similarity to surfIng performance has made the C7 the choice for surf training by pros and amateurs alike.


Now the C7 includes a lighter spring, opening up the looser register of performance for a more progressive surf experience, while still retaining the stiffer, more stable range too. It’s our new favourite truck once again!


…Lost Surfboards are one of the most cutting edge board designers in contemporary surfing. Their brash exploration of progressive surfboard design and ‘go-for-it style’ is reflected in the bold look of this new collection.


GO WITH THE FLOW : Inspired by the sea but made for the city! Flow Surf Skates Bring the experience of surfing to sidewalks and streets. Practice your surfing maneuvers on flat days or simply go skate around town for the fun of it. Flow’s Surfskate truck was developed to emulate the feeling of riding a surfboard. The unique design utilizes an internal, adjustable spring to provide snappy, fluid carving and smooth pumping.
