Introduction to SurfSkate Wheels
Choosing the right surfskate wheels is crucial for achieving the best performance and enjoyment. Therefore, understand the key attributes to choose the best wheel for your surfskate.
Wheel Diameter
Smaller wheels (65mm) accelerate faster, perfect for quick starts. Larger wheels (up to 70mm) may accelerate slower but offer higher speeds for longer rides.
Wheel Durometer
Durometer measures wheel hardness. Softer wheels (75a-78a) provide more grip, while harder wheels (83a-100a) slide better and are ideal for smooth surfaces.
Contact Patch
The contact patch is the wheel's surface touching the ground. A larger contact patch offers better stability, while a smaller one enhances agility and carving.
Wheel Surface and Edge
Smooth surfaces provide more grip; rough surfaces enhance sliding. Square edges grip better; rounded edges slide more easily.
Core Placement
Core placement affects performance. Centerset cores offer even wear and controlled slides, while offset cores balance grip and slide.
