street surfing shark attack - worth it?

This is much cheaper than Carver / Surfskate, anyone tried it?

Looks interesting. There’s one on eBay for $60 shipped brand new- if I didn’t already have a Carver I’d impulse buy it. I couldn’t find any detailed reviews, although there are a couple positive reviews on Amazon.

I used to own a caster board which was a lot of fun but only sort of surfy IMO. I could see where this hybrid might be good, but hard to tell without getting on one.

How about a mainroad mullet, a downhill dorado. A gutter Guppy, a freeway flounder, a toll road turtle.
Finally a classy one....... Backstreet Barracuda

Put me down for a Gutter Guppy!

I bought it and tried it out today, so far I can pump and turn, not smoothly though. For the price it seems OK, though my only other skate surfboard was also a budget brand, so maybe the Surfskate would blow my mind if I tried it.
