Surfskate Riser Pads

Prevent Wheelbite Using Surfskate Risers

If you’re aiming to replicate the sensation of surfing on your board, you should ensure your setup allows for ample leaning while riding. However, when your deck routinely meets your wheels, it’s beneficial to swap your surfskate riser pads.

These flat pieces, typically crafted from rubber or plastic, are placed between your trucks and deck. They enhance the gap between the wheels and surfskate deck, with various thicknesses available to match your preferences.

Riser pads provide a cost-effective and straightforward method to prevent both falling off your board and potential damage. Additionally, the risers used for surfskating can also be applied to skateboards and longboards, so you might already have some compatible ones. If you’re uncertain about compatibility, refer to our concise guide on Buying Skateboard Bolts & Risers.

When skating on uneven terrain like a boardwalk, shock pads are another alternative. They not only elevate your board but also diminish vibrations and cushion impacts.

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