Carving is done on Centered Longboards which can be pumped to maximize forward thrust, pulling from the front and pushing from the rear, and it takes a lot of energy and skill from the rider. Most traditional Hamboards are Centered Longboards.
Surfskate riding is done on Back Foot Longboards which can have a comfortable combination of carving and pumping, provided the rider has proper technique.Most surfskates are some variety of back foot longboards and are generally easy to learn to pump. All traditional Hamboards can be converted to Back Foot Longboards with different front and rear baseplates.
If you change your mind you can always come back and pick-up a different set of trucks, to transform your ride.
