Finally...A Surfer's Skateboard
The Paskowitz 30 is named after Dr. Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, surf legend and founder of the first-ever surf school in 1972. Built with the Paskowitz family, this 30-inch board is a true surf trainer for all ages and heights. The 17-inch wheelbase puts your feet right where they'd go on a surfboard. Kick to gain speed, then practice your turns and stance until your body remembers them. Stable enough to stay solid through hard turns at speed.

Choose Your HST Truck Configuration
Both setups deliver deep board lean, mounted on riser blocks with Hamboards' signature cast polyurethane wheels. Buttery smooth and wide enough to deflect small rocks before you ride over them.
CARVE HYBRID — 40/20 "Dig and Carve" Only on the Burst 32 and Paskowitz 30, we have the 40/20 set-up with half as much turning on the rear as the front. Designed by Abraham Paskowitz and Hunter Joslin, famous surf coach and Indoboard founder, this is the set up that they love. Throw the tail like you're hitting the lip and carve back down the face. The performance all-rounder for advanced riders who want everything from mellow cruising to aggressive rail-to-rail shredding.
SURF — 55/20 "Pump and Glide" Front-drive balance that prioritizes flow and the center of turning is directly under the rear heel. This is the setup for surfskate enthusiasts. Build speed, make your S-turns, and generate forward thrust — this configuration cannot be cheated, the rider has to keep their center of gravity directly plumb with the deck.

Which HST Trucks should you get?
Hamboards produces trucks with four different pivot angles, 55°, 40°, 20° and 0°. After years of testing and customer feedback, we have identified three setups which cover the majority of skill levels and customer riding styles.
HST 40°/20° — "Cruise and Flow"
The perfect middle ground between performance and pure flow
Skill Level: Expert
This is the setup delivers slightly more front turning than rear turning, letting you throw the tail of your board just like you're hitting the lip of a wave and carving back down the face. This is a controlled, graceful option that gives you carving capability without the aggressive snap. Once you're at speed, you have complete control over your ride. This is the performance setup for advanced riders who want the widest range of possibilities.
HST 55°/20° — "Pump and Glide"
The Flow Specialist
Skill Level: Intermediate
If you're looking for effortless pumping and that smooth glide-down-the-line feeling, this is the setup for you. The 55°/20° configuration creates the perfect balance of front drive and rear stability, making it ideal for practicing footwork and cross-stepping while maintaining deep rail control when you need it. Once you build speed, you can make that critical turn down the line and immediately transition into nose walking with more control and ease than ever before. You can still engage the rail and carve when the moment calls for it, but this setup prioritizes flow over power—perfect for riders who love the glide and want to focus on style, technique, and that meditative connection between board and rider.
HST Trucks are different
Most skateboard trucks have flexible bushings which allow them to flex and rotate. Our patented HST Trucks use stiff springs and spherical wave cams that translate axle rotation into spring compression. These massive springs store the energy then give it right back to you. You don't need to lift the front to turn, just turn the board. HST trucks have smooth consistent rotations. The springs give strength and stability that enable the wheels to glide over road imperfections like you wouldn't believe.
Rotation and Lean
Our patented HST Trucks were designed to simulate a surfboard on water. Do not expect them to feel like other skateboard trucks. They are so responsive that some people call them loose.
Our trucks rotate up to 20° in both directions and lean up to 30°. This movement is much greater than most other skateboard trucks.
When you turn on HST Trucks, you feel like you are riding on an airplane wing in a banked turn. You get the sense that you are riding on the edge of your board, much like it feels to ride on a snowboard or a surfboard.
They also give just enough of a snappy return to center and truly feel like surfing.
