If you dont have a surfskate board or surfskate trucks and you want to pump or have a surflike feeling get these. They are amazing, just started longboarding at 36yo (havent step foot on a skateboard in over 25 years) five days ago and i had a hard time pumping on a freeride board with gullwing trucks. My fault since the board wasnt really designed for it. These things made pumping much easier for me, the turns are real sharp and you can feel the carve. Its fun as hell and as they advertise works on a lot of board setups.

Im using a sector9 faultline perch, installing the rear required flipping part of the adapter to fit and i had to use a soft mallet to knock the plate back into place. The front adapter required a little more improvisation because of the trucks the outside spacer was a real tight squeeze. Also couldnt use the provided washer for the same reason. I ended up using a flat washer and cutting part of it with a dremmel to make it fit.

For the price, they are kinda pricey for someone frugal like me, but damn they are worth it. Great work out too.

Edit: just to point out, not sure if it was just me but there were no install instructions. Had to youtube it. Would be nice if install instructions are included if not already.

Also the square bushing squeaks like heck. I used bicycle grease around the bushing to see if it would help only to realize the squeaking is from where the bushing is seated. The bushing is seated so tightly i cannot remove it without potentially damaging it. Since its so new ill just have to deal with it. Praying the drops of lube i added seaps into the creavace and reduces squeaking over time.

Update: squeaking is almost completely gone. If you have really tight square bushing just put a few drops of bearing lube in the creavace where the bushing sits.

Firstly I would strongly recommend getting this. Changed my board up completely in the best way. I am carving and pumping and gliding like there's no tomorrow. Might need a little grease out of the box to cut down on squeaking but that's easily remedied.

However, I would order some deck mounting hardware to go along with it. The bolts that come with it are 3/4" which might be okay for a thin Walmart popsicle, but I'd strongly recommend 1" bolts for most cruisers (I used a Loaded Omakase deck for reference). Might not seem like a big deal but it's the difference between your hardware flying off the board when you ride or not. Have hardware at the ready if you intend to skate it the same day.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend it. Just a small but really annoying blemish on an otherwise awesome cruiser upgrade.

Though it feels very smooth and fluid when leaning, carving, and turning, there's a rattling noise that gets annoying after a while. I'm trying to fix it. got in contact through their website Waterborne skateboards, and they made a custom part to fix the noise, we'll see if it works.

I am an older guy, and have wanted to skate some again, but couldn't seem to get comfortable. I saw surfskate videos, and it seemed like something I could definitely get into. I started using these trucks on longboards and now I have them on more of a cruiser style deck. Watch the videos for instalation. A little tricky for my fat fingers. I have loved these. Very sturdy for a bigger guy.

Very happy with this adapter, insanely fun and if your out for a rip long distance, what a workoutðŸ¤'ðŸ»

I originally purchased a beginner type affordable surf skateboard that wasn't crazy expensive from amazon which is a lot of fun,
Which I still ride but, with this waterborne adapter which I attached to one of our popsicle boards gives you more motion to really carve and pump.
Definitely recommend this product to anyone looking at getting into surf skating, and if you already own a skateboard all you need is this adapter to transform your board to a surf skate.
AAA+++
Thanks waterborne for getting me back on a skateboardâ¤ï¸
