Best review video on this adapter and their boards. I used your promo code to get mine.

"Spaghetti english" Better words have never been spoken.

Well done. I very much appreciate that you did it in English as well

I really like this video. It’s so underrated. I like the picture quality, colors and even music you chose.

Thank you for this; best overview of this surf adapter that I’ve found.

9 month ago your video gave the finale impulse to decide for the Waterborne system and I don't regret anything about it: I had never tried a surfskate before but figured it out within minutes - I think I had an "unfair" advantage though because many years ago before I picked up skateboarding I had one of these 90's snakeboards/"streetboards" and riding a surfskate feels pretty much like riding something in between a snakeboard and a skateboard. However - the Waterborne system gave me many hours of joy, and sometimes I go out late at night to skate a short 50 metre stretch of asphalt around the corner for half an hour and end up returning 3 hours later. To roll up and down this stretch of road over and over again with a regular cruiser would be of little fun, but thanks to snaps and slide variations this flat road is as entertaining to me as a skatepark. Initially I skated my 30" cruiser + Waterborne with Randal style 160mm RKP trucks, but a few month ago a dude on the street had gifted me an early 1980's Alva "Bill Danford Mini" for some reason and its Variflex 180mm SKP trucks boosted the board even more - can't wait for the season to begin. All this is owed to your video only - thank you so much! 🖤

any board is fine, brands are so much about showing amazing skaters to make you feel that their skills are somehow related to the board, such a lie 🙃

I'm using my waterborne setup on a 9x34 "Cruiser'. Traditional trucks, 65mm wheels. I have the rear rail as well. Not got the technique of riddin it all down just yet but havin a lot of fun with it.

I've watched other Waterborne videos trying to explain the technology and keep coming back to this one again & again. Your 'spaghetti English' is delightful and fine! Then again, I watch foreign language films all the time with subtitles. Your technical understanding and demonstration of skating and Waterborne enriches my understanding. So I keep watching it and picking up new bits of understanding every time I watch this video. My main use is for exercise and "flat" pumping. I'm not a skate bowl or pump track user. Just cruising and rising on roads or smooth areas. I use a 22" Penny board which for many is considered unstable. But if one can ride a 22" Penny board, one can cruise almost anything. :)

Brilliant Video just what I was looking for, ordered Paris V1 trucks and waterbourne adapter front and rear, really looking forward to get out skating again

I’ve been using the Waterborne adapters for many years, though I set mine up very differently and I believe much better in performance in several ways. I had an epiphany about five years ago that because the front gets so much additional turning ability with the adapters, that the rear trucks no longer had to help with turning duties, and in fact could be reversed(flipped) to face the same as the front truck. This means the rears turn in the same direction as the front, but not as much. This resists any possible wobbles and instability at higher speeds and still retain the nimble handling as if it was normally setup. The rears will now turn into the corners, pushing under you giving support and maintain grip as they shoot for the exit rather than pushing outwards. During pumping and carving the rear makes a straighter path than the front, more like a real surf board. It’s the next level in handling for a surf-skate. Obviously this only works with the adapters or at least a surf style front truck; if the trucks are matched in turn ratio it would just crab sideways. Usually in skateboarding you have to choose maneuverability and carving at slower speeds or stability at high speeds. By reversing, or I should say UN-reversing the rear trucks gives you both if you use the adapters. Give it a try, it’s great to get feedback on this setup trick. Thanks!

@@SkateTherapy stiff bushings don’t at all make up for stability when you need it, it’s just creating a higher threshold before it starts a cavitation in a speed wobble. Stiffer bushings just create more resistance to turning ability. True stability comes from wheel geometry, and having the wheels turn opposite the fronts will always create instability as opposed to turning with them which is inherently stable.

Great vid. Been skating since 1978, longboarding since 2007.

Great review: combination of technical substance and stoke! You covered all of the aspects - board, truck and combinations - really well. And it is entertaining! I just got the adapter, should be getting the deck in a few days. I'm thinking a wider deck might be better to lock in for the turns and lean, about 9.5"/242 mm wide, gentle radial concave and a 22.5"/572 mm wheelbase - a little more stable, but hopefully short enough to turn with good carving response and still allow using the kicktail (no flex, unfortunately). TKP front (Bennett, very divey and surfy already) - will try RKP and TKP in the rear and see which works better. Trying to decide between 5.0/129mm hanger width or 6.0/150 mm hanger width on the trucks. Trying to emulate a mid-length single fin egg kind of feel. Thanks for the inspiration! Grazie mille!

I wish Waterborne included the 2x14mm risers and 2" bolts and nuts with the full kit (adapter and backrail), so we could experiment with both options.

the instability is a feeling, it actually make it more stable as for the same leaning the back truck will turn less, on the other hand it make it harder to slide. Anyway you can try to put harder bushings on the backrailer. I prefer it with harder busings in the board side, while those soft bushings are great in the truck

The best comprehensive review for this adapter. I have one question, in your experience, what effect does having a larger wheelbase, and even truck size, on the performance of the adapter when pumping? does it increase or decrease speed or acceleration?

@SkateTherapy

5 жыл бұрын

a larger wheelbase reduce the acceleration on low speed, but it definitely improve the pumping when you are going faster, so on a longer deck you get higher top speed. For the truck size is more about stability, but the effect is similar, a narrow truck is easier to turn, but using less power you will get less speed and you also feel less confident as is easier to loose grip. Narrow trucks and short wheelbase are good for tight turn in short sessions, large trucks and long wheelbase are good for pumping in long distance.

However I find more interesting their longer deck, the gemini, as is shaped to avoid wheelbites being a drop through, that's something that you cannot achieve with another deck, cause the wood would be to fragile with those cuts on it, it should feel great to have this pump on a low rid, however I didn't try it ..but is a matter of taste, I must say the scorpion is for rider with experience, it is wild and you need to have total control of your balance cause if you go to deep in the carve you will loose it due to the truck size, too narrow for the leaning.

You would probably need a longer line of wheels to stay stable pumping in high speed. There is a skateboard, can't remember the name now that work like this, If I'll remember I will link it. it would be poasible to copy the same concept. But he skateboard use a metal board betwheen deck and trucks and I guess it would be too heavy for rollerskates

è esaurito, a questo punto l'unica è prenderlo assieme al penny e usare un truck rkp dietro o riser inclinato amzn.to/334HWeC

Personalmente penso di aver capito il 90% del video senza sottotitoli, infatti fortunatamente non diventi eminem quando parli in inglese e sopratutto non usi vocaboli improbabili, complimenti come sempre

Ciao. I also bought one. When I looked inside the waterborne I got a bit concerned about durability. Do you know if you can replace the inside bushing ?

I don't think so, pheraps in the future, it would be very nice for customization

Sir , I understand from your video that Waterborne adaptor uses square bushings. Is there any possibility that it can take the regular barrel bushings like if we can cut it into square & put them in ? Thank you. :)

it should work, but they sell replacements anyway, I've been told that an harder bushing doesn't feel significantly different, I think that the biggest change would come from placing a Tkp or a rkp under it, that would change a lot the leaning

@@SkateTherapy Thank you so much sir 🙂 That's quite a relief , though I ordered two spare bushings for me. It's expensive to buy in India.

I wish I could try and compare it with my cheap Apollo surf skate. Although most of the move I make, I can replicate on my board and it feels smooth. Having a visual check doesn't count of course.

if you are enjoying yours that's all you need ;) Anyway this video is old and waterborne has evolved a lot in the meanwhile, but for me the best is just using their front adapter and customize all the rest

which is good trucks size for Waterborne surf and rail adaptor on 33"-34" deck?

at least 6 inch for a tkp or 180mm for a rkp (the standard size)

Hey i thought this was an awesome made video, so stok ed!

I actually wouldn't mind hearing the Italian with the english subtitles. I like hearing spoken Italian unless it is someone yelling at me.
