Prioritize protecting your head, as it is the most crucial and vulnerable part of your body. Choose helmets with durable lining, proper ventilation, and safety certifications (CPSC, ASTM, CE EN).
Hips and Protective Shorts
Although not widely used, this protective gear is one of the most important for surfskaters due to its ability to absorb the impact of high-speed falls, thus reducing bruises and severe contusions in this area of the body.
Knee and Kneepad
This PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is crucial for protecting knees, patellas, and ligaments. Look for knee pads that offer full coverage, impact resistance, and comfort.
Hand Protection
Effectively protect your hands and wrists from serious injuries during the initial impact with the ground when falling from a surfskate.
Elbow Pads
This equipment is extremely important for athletes of all levels, as it helps prevent injuries during the execution of rolls that aid in the gradual distribution of impact from SurfSkate falls to other parts of the body.
