Surf Training Device

Designed with world champion Surfer Cory Lopez to train competition surfers 

***For Serious Surfers***

You gotta be prepared to ride this board with your shoulders and hips as if engaging your rail on trim. Surf: Don’t Skate.  Even for highly skilled skaters, helmets and pads are recommended.  You know your skill level and you know your own limits. 

We love your style but we also want you to take care of yourself. As the saying goes “Easy does it!” We don’t want you going all out on your first ride. Get to know your board and bond with it before RIPPING.  When you’re ready, practice your blow tails and tail whips all day long, but skate within your limits and wear safety gear to keep you safe.  The concave and swallow kick-tail allow you to get leverage on the deck for tail washes and 180s.

Carving or Surfskate?  Choose your riding style...  

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.

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 right it 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.
