TRUCKS Surfskate
The fundamental part for
that a skate can be called a surfskate are the axles,
each brand has its own system and some of them are very
similarities between them, we will try to help as much as we can
possible in the choice of your surfskate by commenting on the
and functionality of the ones we have in
our catalog.
Let's start by talking about the axes of Kingpin Inverted
(Reverse Kingpin), these shafts are very similar to those of
skateboard but with a different configuration so that
you can pump and carve much more easily,
are the lightest you will find on a surfskate
and its maintenance is almost negligible, you will only have
to change the bushings and the pivot cup, parts of the bushings and the pivot cup
