Surfing on Land

[phung725]

I am not able to have that much time on the water, and the surf here in Texas is very small.
What is the best board that simulates surfing on land? If you have any experience with any of the options on the poll, please share!

I worked in a shop that sold almost all the boards mentioned. One you left out was Carveboard or what is now known as Streetboardz. That one you can leaned so far over you hit your knee. The company was owned by Brad Gerlach's dad, Brad is a former WCT pro and current coach, I followed some of his techniques. But the best by far, if you want to get the that pump and turning down, is definitely Carver skateboards. I had various different boards at my disposal and that one helped me the most.

Two other boards you didn't list and are hard to find are Flowboard and Snakeboard.

Man, I wish I bought one when I had the chance. The rail of the deck would be scrapping and you'll still be rolling. No wheel bite ever. ( but 14 wheels = 28 bearings. Yikes !

Fun in really tight spaces. Good for getting that back foot movement and the open/close chest for drive/winding up into turns
