Waveskate

Ehy,

I was always been attract by ben wei shape’s of his waveskates, so I made my first one. The tail is the same of the dumpster diver.

Setup is quad, planning to put an extra center plug to use a thruster too.

Camera was broken at the moment of shaping so the pics are the final product.

Size are 5.6x21

hope somebody will enjoy and keep talking about waveskates that are really a pleasure to ride in small/crappy conditions.

planning to shape a new one … will post pictures.

if want more info just ask…

cheers from bali

thanks,

Shoot, we'll talk about just about anything here!  Surfboard shapes is our breakfast!  Welcome to Sway's, and hope you can find something to ride that puppy on, in that wave-starved outpost where y'all are stranded LOL!  Nice board, BTW, looks great!

Yep that was my first post,

forgot to say hi everybody and thanks
Huckleberry for the welcome!

a few boys here are riding these kind of boards..........

hope you like it

 

looks cool, more info abt the board hes riding?

 

 

Dont know about the one hes riding but I tried a board from the same brand (weird)....It was a 5'4'' 19,5 x 2,25....Low entry rocker, single to double concave, a litle tail flip. Soft rails. Almost like a high performance shortboard but had the square nose like an wakeboard ..... What I think about these boards is that they make less speed than a normal high performance shorty.....they are obviously great for skate tricks though.

I like speed.....power turns....feel the board cutting water...sprayyyyyyyyy!!!! Clean energy under feet. dont care about crazy flip trip tricks.....

Here in Brazil these kind of boards suits good....mostly beach break close outs, junctions and short waves so the best think you can do is FLY.....

Did you see Jadson André surfing trestles yesterday?

Cheers

Im with you, power surfing is the way… but on the right waves.

Where I live in bali, when waves get good crowds get insane, so instead of having bad attitude in the waters I prefer to go down the the beach, find my ‘own’ peak and boosting airs and try to do some sk8 tricks.

 

thats what im really enjoing in the last few years,

at the end, all im looking is having fun.

those boards are peferct!

 

the will be always time to do some speedy cutbacks making rains :slight_smile:

 

ps, havnt saw Jadson André!

 

cheers bro
