A new addition to our Surf Skate line, the Surf Life borrows the same shape from our Ditch Life series for a retro 80s inspired look. Featuring the same truck and wheel set-up as our other Surf Skates but with a slightly bigger kicktail, this board is made to carve up anything.

One Board One Tree

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

Kicktail

Take your skating into the third dimension with a kicktail. We design our kicktails to work perfectly with each deck shape as well as with the truck and wheel setup on each complete.

MEDIUM CAVE

The perfect middle ground, enough concave that you always feel glued to your board, but not too much to hurt your feet during a longer cruise.

MULTI WHEELBASE

Precisely dial in your ride with multiple mounting options for your trucks.

SOFT TOP GRIP

This grip tape has a layer of foam under its coarse top sheet. This helps hold your foot in place while reducing road vibration and creating an cushy, comfortable ride.

SURF SKATE

This set up combines our unique Bear Banger RKP front truck with a Polar Bear 155 in the rear for the ultimate surfy ride.

Length: 31.6"

Featuring the same super popular shape as our Ditch Life series, the Surf Life boards have a wide nose with a healthy taper and deep kicktail. 7-ply maple construction keeps the ride nice and responsive while mellow concave and a deep kicktail will keep your feet locked in for whatever obstacle you want to hit next. TheSurf Life comes set up with our new Banger Surf Skate trucks combo featuring a new Banger 130 RKP front truck for maximum turn and response paired with a Polar Bear 130 rear for a stable, predictable ride. The setup is finished off with a set of new Surfskate specific 65mm Hawgs wheels with square lips and a glossy finish for insane amounts of grip. The Surf Life also comes with soft-top griptape for maximum comfort.

Trucks

Bear Bangerz Surf Skate Truck

The Bear Bangerz Surfskate truck features a high angle RKP front truck with a unique geometry and extra tall bushings for an unbelievable amount of turn, paired with a Polar Bear 155 to give you a stable, leany back end you can really dig into with confidence

Wheels

65mm Surf Skate Wheels

These 65mm wheels are the designed to fit perfectly on to our Surf Skate setups to allow for super deep turns without worry of wheelbite while still being big enough to provide tons of roll speed. The glossy finish and sharp outer lips offer up tons of grip so you dont have to worry about slipping out unexpectedly.

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck. We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board. No slop, all control. Don't accept anything less than the perfect complete. Learn More >

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Just what I was hoping for!

I was skeptical at first when I ordered this board but I've had it for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier! I did a lot of research of surf skates and a lot of the reviews online say that Landyachtz doesn't make a "true surfskate". Which is partially true. This board is a bit of a hybrid but that's what makes it so fun. I have a Carver CX and it's only fun in short bursts. However, I can ride this board all day and still have a smile on my face at the end. If you are looking for a board that you can cruse long distances, can generate a lot of speed by pumping, and is relatively nimble, this board will not disappoint.

The only downside is the stock wheels are not great for generating and maintaining speed without kicking. I switched them out for 70mm 78a Surfskate Love wheels and its made a huge difference! The stock Hawgs don't grip enough and you will loose power when you really try to pump hard and they don't let you coast nearly as long. I gave the board quality a 4 due to the wheels alone. The rest of the set up is top quality all around, like everything else I've gotten from LY.

Fun and Unique Cruiser

I've been loving this board so far! I wanted to try something with more of a surf skate style with lots of carveability for a little while now and this definitely accomplishes that without going too far from typical skate style. It feels pretty different than a normal board with the front truck design, but not in a bad way.

It is definitely on the less stable side (I'm used to extremely low/long/wide boards) so pushing is a little wobbly for me but it feels very stable in even the tightest of turns (and they are tight!).

I'm still getting comfortable and learning the more surfy style, as well as the limitations of the board, but it is a great addition to my current board.
