Surfskate Riser Pads

Prevent Wheelbite with Surfskate Risers

If you wish to experience the sensation of surfing on your board, you should aim for a configuration that provides ample lean while riding. Nonetheless, if your deck frequently touches the wheels, consider replacing your surfskate riser pads.

These components are flat sections made of either rubber or plastic, which are placed between your trucks and deck. They help to extend the gap between the wheels and the surfskate deck, available in a variety of thicknesses to meet your requirements.

Riser pads offer a cost-effective and straightforward method to prevent not only falling off your board but also causing any harm to it. Additionally, the risers suitable for surfskating can also be utilised with skateboards and longboards, potentially meaning you already have compatible ones for your setup. If uncertain about the compatibility of your hardware, consult our quick guide on Buying Skateboard Bolts & Risers.

For skating on uneven surfaces such as a boardwalk, another alternative is to obtain shock pads. This option not only raises the board's height but also minimises vibrations and softens impacts.

To make any modifications to your setup, ensure you have the appropriate Surfskate Tools.
