Thanks for the review! Couldn’t have said it any better! Also stoked that you got the Waterborne W tattooed on your arm, might have to get a matching one hahaha
Hahaha 🤣
When in doubt just know
"iT's pERsoNal PRefeRAncE"
Straight facts lol
Finally, i’ve been on the fence abt buying one and this review def swayed me!
Stoked to hear that Zack! It's a really solid adapter - I think you'll love it
yew! stoked to get it into the mail tomorrow morning!
dued they are sooo fun!
Had this for about 5 months and it's really improved my surfing. I love hitting downhills in SF, carves and slides very smooth. Highly recommend as an intermediate surfer 🤙
show us some clips of you sliding on these
bro im so glad your channel exists. im relatively new to the longboard/skate community and finding information for my first board was a nightmare. But you just tell it how it is, I definitely envy all the newcomers who get to make a more informed choice than I was able to.
Stoked to hear that man, thanks for that! Shred on!! Yewww
Bro! What can I say, I just love watching your videos. Simple, classy, good quality & packed with useful information. I'm 40 & I recently started longboarding. Like 3 weeks ago lol. Whole reason was to cruise with my kids and now they are not as interested but I'm loving it. I just wanna say I really appreciate your videos and I learned a lot from you. Keep crushing it and motivating 🙌🏽
Shred shack is the highest quality reviewers in the scene, and they came up out of nowhere which makes it even cooler!
I think one of the coolest things you guys do in terms of video production is that even the "fluff" intro with the really cool artsy shots is still informational. If someone comes in and doesn't know what the video's title means, those first few seconds of clips show you A: what kind of riding this is for and B: what the product looks like. Really cool way to keep the entire video focused while still showing off your amazing filming and editing skills.
So stoked to hear this, thanks for this Liam! Means a lot
I saw someone at the skate park use this and i looked cool
That's sick! Seems like a blast for shredding bowls
I don’t listen to UA-cam, not for entertainment at least, I only look for a video when I need to know something, and it’s usually not often, once every month, sometimes once a week, but when I came across your videos It surprised me how comfortable you are talking to and trying to connect to your subscribers. Your content is super useful, for a large variety of people even if they aren’t watching all of your videos. You’re a great guy @Shred Shack. Thanks for the support to the community
Wow, really appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words
I have two waterborne setups. One 46 inch long board and a giant 5ft land paddle board. They were sitting around not being used. It has transformed them! Amazing product with brilliant customer service in my experience.
your review has helped me go ahead and get the Waterborne Adapter set, they're just magical and worth every single penny. Thank you much!
stoked to hear that! I love the waterborne.
YEW!! So glad that you're happy with your Surf and Rail Adapters!
Ya I recently got one of these with the rail adapter and the height was super shocking at first but I eventually got used to it.
Yeah that's something I think people don't think about
You should have mentioned the rail adapter. That's where the real game changer lies I think with Waterborne. Besides that, with a urethane system, rather than a spring, there will be much less pull/rebound which means you can stay in the turn longer. The rail adapter also helps with wheel lift in the deep turns and the board will tilt sideways a lot more than other surfskate solutions.
Since it tilts so much, it will feel very unstable. On the otherhand since you need all that tilt to initiate the turn, it feels like a low degree front truck where if you keep control of your front foot you will be stable for the most part. Surely a unique feeling and one which I enjoy.
Couldn't have said it any better! Thank you for letting people know and I'm stoked tat you're loving your Waterborne Adapters
I ordered the adapter recently and they sent me the rail adapter on accident and when I brought it to their attention they just said oh well good for you, now you got a free rail adapter! We'll send you the surf skate adapter today and you'll be surfing the land by the end of the week.
Great guy guys, great company!
Hey speaking of which, How are you liking them!?
Honestly love you videos bro such high quality and overall an awesome experience watching. I literally watch your videos during my classes and they just put me at ease. Btw you got me into longboarding and just cruising and I would just love to Thankyou for it.
Never clicked on anything so fast in my life
Ahaha that means a lot. Stoked to hear that, thanks!
Your editing gets better every vid 👌
Thanks so much dude!
No prob mate
Putting one of these on a mini cruiser was so much fun that when mine got stolen I immediately replaced it with the same exact setup. When my friends get on it they think it's sketchy as hell and almost immediately step off but there's just a learning curve as well as a mental hurdle to get over before you get used to it.
That's sick! Yeah there's definitely a learning curve. When I first tried surfskates, I was sketched out haha
What mini Cruiser did you put it on?
Leggooooo! Great way to start a Saturday! Keep up the awesome work!
Stoked Rickey! Thanks for supporting dude
I love my waterborne. I pretty much did what you suggested. I bought it (and the rear adapter too, makes a huge difference!) and tossed it on my popsicle deck. Loved the ride so much I built around it, going old school Peralta deck 10" wide, 31" long and 17" wheel base provides a great surf feel. While I would love a smoothstar, surf adapter and rail adapter can be bought for the shipping charges on a smoothstar. Heck, my deck and a pair of Indies cost only a little more than shipping on smoothstar.
YEW! Mitch my man that old school Powel board is sick! I think you sent us some pics of it a while back
Thanks!! Mine is supposed to come today and I’m putting it on my land yachtz dinghy. Thanks for giving such a in-depth review!!! My nearest good beach is about an hour away and I love to surf so I need this!!! Love the channel bro been here since 1k
Hi there. I just got a surf skate landyachtz and I’m thinking about getting waterborne adapter as well. It would be a great help if you could help me out by post your completed version thanks in advance.
On point analysis. Just buy a 2nd hand Cruiser and mount the waterboard. Make sure the wheelbase is at least around 17" and you're good to go for a small price. For beginners sticky wheels 78a are strongly recommended, it is snappy :-) Genious engineering w/o Spring Issues. Bravo #Waterborne !
Great advice. I agree, such a solid invention by Waterborne
thats the name of the game
Daaaamn, that intro dude, your production quality is top notch
Means a lot! Thanks for that!
You already know from these reviews that Billy would be a top tier homie
Hahah appreciate you!
Imagine this on a classic Penny 😂
I ride a 36 inch Dogtown "stonefish" longboard cruiser, I'm using the waterbourne system,with 7 inch venture trucks, and 65mm acid cruiser wheels ithink it's amazing cuz it can be used with long distance cruising,with some nice carving,and the system is solid
These are on an Amazon prime day deal for $60 and your video convinced me. Followed super recently & glad you had a review!
Your content and illustrations are always top notch and solid. Thank you.
I highly recommend the rail adapter with a wb setup. I tried riptide krank fatcones instead of their stock standard bushings and it blew me away. It sounds like other riders on the surf skate subreddit are happy with that setup, too.
I run green fatcones board side, regular cones street side. Wide side of the cones facing the board.
Being early to all of your vids, is yet another thing on my bucket list😊
Hahah appreciate that a ton Daniel! Thanks dude
happy to see that you’re back on the comments
Yesssirrr
@@concrete-waves yes I have transcended Anthony Garcia and became cat boi 69 🐈
Love how he will actually respond to comments
Try my best! Sometimes I can’t get to everything but I always appreciate the support 🙌🏼
These are just great videos. Glad of the format and talking points!
Thanks so much!
Got this on my Z-flex without knowing what a surfskate was, it been 30 years since I owned a skateboard just always surfed and a surfskate is so close to surfing it a brain fuck, so with howling noreasters belting the east coast of Australia this makes a old man happy, awesome content too kid 💪
That's awesome. Stoked to hear that! Thanks for the kind words
Great review, thanks for helping out!!
I only ride e-skate and only for transport -- I use the eskate to get around to avoid driving and all the parking and ticket issues attached to it in a busy (pre-COVID) city like San Francisco. This waterborne adapter IS A MUST. The reasons are: 1.) being able to execute deeper turns and carving while maintaining current fast speed (like a bike) 2.) NO SPEED BUMPS.
I’ve always thought these things would be an awesome thing to have
thanks for doing a review👍
Yeah they're a blast! Thanks for watching Sam!
You get wheelbite if you use bigger wheels, like 80mm iirc. I feel like that built-in stopper is more to prevent jackknifing.
This channel definitely deserves 100k subscribers
Thanks, I appreciate that
This is my all time favorite surprise purchases. All I wanted was a setup that would allow me to chase my three year old on her push bike while pushing my one year old son around in his little car. It’s how I play with my kids when the pool get too cold. Fast forward three months later and the three of us are hitting the skatepark early morning before the “big kids” (or any kids) show up. If you surf, like I do, you absolutely need one of these and if you skate, find a driveway or a bridge!! and do some power slides but keep your real setup handy. This is my third skateboard in my skate quiver. If you’re on the fence, it’s a no brainer, get it but here’s a tip, get a cruiser board with a loooong wheelbase. 16” plus. Customer service is the best too!
Awesome to hear! I agree, they're a blast and have great customer service. Thanks for sharing David! Shred on
Hey man, love the videos. I enjoy the product reviews because they're interesting, and I may actually end up getting this one. I'm curious if you are planning on ever doing riding tips in addition to product reviews. I know there are other channels that do that, but I think it would be cool to see it from you.
Thanks Michael! Something I'm definitely considering for the future! Thanks for the input
That info about speed wobbles was amazing. I literally never knew that😂😂😂
Yeah I actually wasn't aware of a lot of that until I started researching. Glad you learned something!
we didnt either lol it was the eskate community that told us
Once again this old man I'm 61 going on 22 and you sold me.
These are amazing. I got them a year back for my Riptide E board and it makes your control, and ride experience so much better.
Been waiting all week for another video! 😌💓
Stoked to hear that! Thanks for showing up and supporting
Thanks so much😁 I love your vids so much man
I was thinking about getting this recently! Thanks for the review dude your awesome!
Glad I can help Willem! Thanks for always showing up man
@@concrete-waves No problem, You've helped me a ton in longboarding so I really appreciate it!
also if you've got any questions about our Adapters we're happy to give you any insight we might have
@@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS Thanks so much! I'll let you guys know if I have any questions.
@@willemcrittenden1100 any time!
Hey man thanks for making your channel super helpful and you interesting and your voice isn’t boring. You should read audiobooks.
Haha I've never got that before. AUDIOBOOKS NEXT lol Thanks for watching!
Sick review, literally just placed my order on Amazon! Can’t wait, been looking to buy a complete surf skate, but this is way cheaper because I’ve already have an Globe longboard, so with these I can just convert it to a surf skate. I’m looking forward to shredding while the surf is flat, no flat days! Yew!
one of my first surfskate setups was a Globe Tracer with a Surf and Rail Adapter! Absolutely love that board!
This was such a great review!! You really covered everything! Thanks so much!
Yo! Love your vids keep doing what your doing!!!
Thanks dude! So stoked for your support!
Do you know anything about hamboards I was looking at the logger and it looks like an awesome board from everything I’ve watched and seen not too big like the original not too small but it’s on the lower end of 500$ and I was wondering if you have ridden one and if so do you think it’s worth the money? Because I was thinking about just purchasing a waterborne adapter for my cut out sector nine long board and I feel that maybe they aren’t comparable? Idkkkk thanks too anyone who answers
Keep the good work!
I hope you’ll be famous!
Ur vids are just amazing for starters!
I love this attachment on my kahuna Creations shaka. It's shaped like a surf board and with this attachment it truly feels like im surfing. I have 85mm orangutans and take it down hill skating. No shakes, im 5'7" 125lbs. And its a smoothe ride.
This great review made me pull the trigger on one of these. No regrets!
Ayyyy that's awesome. Enjoy Erik! Thanks for watching the vid
I have one adepter, is pretty dope! Thanks for the review
Francisco Leon right on dude! Thanks for the support and hope you’re enjoying it!
@@WATERBORNESKATEBOARDS the best of all!
@@perusha4f YEWWWW!
Thank you just answered my question from you or surf skate video I really enjoy your videos I used to skate a lot when I was younger life goes on figured I'd start building boards and doing it again have a happy healthy safety day
Awesome, glad it helped. Shred on!!
I have these! I have pretty grippy wheels and I think they make it a lot easier to slide and just make the ride feel very unique
Again, such an amazing video!
Ayyy thanks so much!
Good thorough review! Shoulda tried it with the suspension cruiser spring on the back truck instead of a riser pad. 🤣
Great advice, I couldn’t figure out what I want to get and don’t want to spend $300 plus on a new complete and end up not liking it. I ordered on of these, and I’m gonna try it on my 41” Santa Cruz, my 34” Santa Cruz and my Loaded Ballona moby and see what I like, then I’ll just have to figure out a brand.
Great video dude keep it up
Your amazing doodie
Appreciate that a lot! Thanks for supporting the channel
Can you make a video on Bureo skateboards? They are like surf skates made of recycled fishing nets.
They're on the list, so I'll eventually be getting to them. Such a cool concept!
Keep the good vids up man! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man! More vids coming
Getting this for christmas, hype is on
That's so awesome. I think you'll it!
yes!!! you're going to love it!!
It would be awesome if u made a video about the landyachtz tugboat
Could you review bamboo decks vs maple or other not as flexible decks?
Interesting idea. Like comparing deck materials?
@@concrete-waves ya I'm wondering what I should do on one of my boards
Yeah that was super helpful
Awesome, stoked to hear that. Thanks for watching Austin!
Does it keep the board same level you you will have to have rear wheel as well..?
It comes with block risers to level out the deck in the rear, or if you go for our High Performance Pack then it will come with a Rail Adapter that levels out the deck, and gives your rear truck an additional 35 degrees of lean
Idk if you already made a vid comparing long boards to cruisers but if you haven’t you should
Speed wobbles happen on the rear truck (I mean in general). With the rail adapter the rear truck doesn’t really turn anymore, so I can see how this setup can in theory reduce risk of wobbles at high speeds. But uhhh I’ll let others test out the theory. I mean downhill skaters use lower angle rear trucks and 0° isn’t unheard of so... 🤷♂️
dude you nailed it. The Rail Adapter takes all of the instability out of the rear by making it all about lean
Hey big fan of the channel, I'm interested on how to pump on surf skates and if you can do it with a regular cruiser
Thanks Marty! Pumping on a regular cruiser is hard to do without a surfskate adapter... if that's your question?
Thanks so much, love the content
Ya, great customer support! I was charged some insane brokerage fee while shipping to Canada, reached out to ask how they can help and they refunded me the whole amount in minutes. This adapter is pretty dope too :]
yea those fees can be ridiculous!!! Glad we could help because honestly your experience is the most important thing to us.
6:06 you'll get to that amount of subscribers some day :) keep the effort.
Haha thanks dude! One day!!
Great review. Thanks
Is it possible to install these on a drop thru truck longboard?
yes, but you'll be mounting the Adapters to the underside fo the deck. Just something to keep in mind. Also, we have a drop through install video on our site.
Regarding board compatibility, Penny states on their website that the Waterborne Adapter will fit their 27, 29, and 32 inch boards. I've read one review where someone said that it didn't fit the 22 inch Penny.
Love the video super helpful can’t wait for more
Awesome, thanks so much for watching
i tried one kickflip and almost broke my ankle guys I'M SORRY
Hahah the sketchiest kickflip of all time
Safety never takes a holiday!
Yea no kick flip wtf
Just add to this an electric skateboard kit, sparking trucks, suspension and shark wheels. Then you'd probably have the craziest skateboard ever.
Some slip tape on the bottom of the deck may also help.
Great video. Very helpful.
I've been watching you for year's and had no clue you went to QU, Go Bobacts!
Would have been cool to see how the ride compares to other surf skate setups. I have two Waterborne kits on two different boards at the moment and love them, but I'm really curious about how these compare to a complete Smoothstar or a Surf Tech.
Love the video quality here. I was wondering if this would work great with a low 48mm standard kingpin truck and a popsicle deck.
Love ur content man amazing
it is a good a idea to put it on a regular skateboard like the ones you use for tricks and that stuff?
You shoulda told about collab with penny, those are awesome!
I actually have a video reviewing that board. That's a fun one!
Penny really nailed the design of the Highline! its a seriously fun little board and definitely punches above its weight considering the price
As always great content. Keep it up!!
Appreciate that bro! Thanks for always showing up
I had a carver I found it too high, this looks higher but the lean looks great.
I’ve been debating on getting one for my backfire board for a while now and still not sure if it is worth it. It will make the deck really really high up but also will help with tight turns as lower speeds. :/ I wish this included a test on an esk8 board but maybe that’s for another video or a different youtuber that focuses more on that side of the community. Great video overall and I would definitely get one if I had a secondary non esk8 longboard where I didn’t have to take it on and off frequently.
I have a Riptide e board and I’ve had them for over a year and they are amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. Also when it’s higher off the ground it protects the battery case for when you go over bumps, off curbs, (idk if you have the backfire mini) and just overall protection. You feel like your surfing as well because the front trucks are what lead the rest of the board so it can do super tight turns. I have a short board with a kick tail but it would be super nice on a long board as well because once you get used to it, I at least have noticed that I get more control of my board. If you have the backfire mini(or just any backfire board), can you tell me how it feels because I’ve been wanting to upgrade, and I’m wondering how the carbon fiber feels overall, and how overall durable you would say the board is.
A little late on this one but another great one best quality I have seen
Just wanna say “ive been here” before this channel blows up
Been waiting for this for a minute, sweet! and First!
I was first by 30 seconds
Awesome, thanks for showing up early!
But yay
i want to do freestyle longboarding and i have never done it before or any long boarding but ive dont a little skate boarding and i ripstick and ive snow boarded but i dont know what board to get or even where to start can u make a video on it i feel like it help a lot of people.
I'm not really into freestyle longboarding, so I won't be doing that video right now. Maybe in the future. It depends on your budget too. How much are you trying to spend?
Do a review on the gullwing sidewinders, they are weird, but fun trucks.
So, “any board?” I’ve got an old 31.5” x 9.5” Santa Cruz that is my go to. I only ride streets with no tricks (other than jumping curbs), but you’ve got me interested in these adapters for the cold months (I slalom ski all summer). Is this really doable?
You should be good! That deck sounds solid for a surfskate setup - but I would double check your trucks will fit (most do). Contact waterborne and see before buying
@@concrete-waves ok, cool. Thank you for the reply and your great reviews!
Notification squad wya??👀
Yooo appreciate it dude! Stoked you always show up
Yess
Your vids are really informative.
It would be very nice if you could put the informations in Metric also, because your videos are very informative and probably the best, but I keep having to convert each number to get an idea :s
Thank you 🙏
Keep it up ✨
