Is Skateboarding simulates the movements of a surfboard Is Turks Neuilly to Drift?

Have never surfed but think the movements on the long board are very similar to what I have seen of surfers. Also Daughter is not yet a "pro" so she doesn't do all the movements that some boarders do. Hope this helps.

Hey! I would DEFINETLY reccomend this board if he wants to get into skateboarding. It is very stable and it is great for beginners. I hope he loves it! Best regards

I don't know. I bought 2 of these for my grandchildren (age 12). They are not avid boarders. They are otherwise very pleased with them.

Yes you can but its harder to steer then a regular surf or paddle board because its weight. Pretty much if you can ride any wave that you could ride on a longboard.

This will not in any way simulate the wobble of a paddleboard. It is stable and will give you better balance for standing, but not for motion. Hope this helps.

Not really....its a different turning principal. The RipStick is not a good comparison to this - they are very much different. To turn this, you have to point your toes (or heels) in and that causes the skatecycle to turn. On the Ripstick, you can lean and cause it to turn....leaning doesn't play into the skatecycle, its the positioning of the feet, although you can "carve" on the skatecycle with a lean, you will not get a strong turn. The wheels on the Ripstick can turn 360 degrees, so the ability for sharp turns is much greater....

It takes a bit getting use to, but I actually think it is more stable than a regular paddle board because of the shape of the base of the kayak. Not as flat as a board so it provides a little more support in the water. I love mine, although I use it more for kayaking. More relaxing.

About as real as it gets. The deck is made of highly durable and heat resistant plastic, if that's what you're asking. It rides like a longboard, without the weight and size. But that also means you don't have the same stability as a longboard, so it's best to avoid any steep hills.

Sorry, can't help. We bought 2 of them to use as decoration on top of a customized van. No good surfing here in Michigan. But I'm quite sure you can handle the board though, no problem.

my son says the problem with these bearings is they make his skateboard go too fast.They are great. I used to own a Skate shop. Bones bearings are by far the best bearings you can buy.

It does more of a "drift" for turning, where the rift is more of a "carve". The deck is just a bit different. They are very similar.

you can do tricks on this board, but a longboard would be better for cruising

Not much flex in the deck .. sliding will depend on the rider . More of a cruiser / carving board . Wheels are ok.Great price for a good board...

It really rides like no other skate. Check the videos on youtube, there are even ones there to teach you how to skate. It will show you how to propel, how to move, turn, etc, which should answer most of your questions about how they work. Good luck!

Well, no... It's a long board so it's meant for curving, sliding, and just riding... Not kick flips or anything.

It does have a bit of a texture on the board but nothing distinct enough to keep it from moving. Just keep your fingers light and your wrist up so there is not so much weight pressing down and it should glide as smoothly as needed.
