For the closest feeling to surfing, take a look at surfskates. These unique cruisers have a front truck which rotates for even more extreme slides and carves.
Your trucks hold everything together. Just remember when you’re looking for a pair of new trucks to get two of the same as they come separately. There are two types of trucks, standard kingpin and reverse kingpin trucks. The first thing is they are much wider, 150 to 180 mm. As with skateboards, the width of your trucks should match the width of your deck.
