Über SwellTech Surf Skate
A concept of motion becomes an entirely new skate truck. 10+ years ago we started by studying the motion of a surfboard and comparing that to what the standard carving truck was missing: A surfboard can carve in any direction (even without lifting the nose) and with the help of lateral motion, a surfboard can pump for speed.
The SwellTech SurfSkates are designed to mimic the movement of a surfboard by having a completely free motion front truck, and a standard more rigid truck in the rear.
The SwellTech front truck has unlimited lateral movement thanks to its spring loaded caster design. The truck can turn completely sideways, and allow the user to turn all the way around in the width of a standard sidewalk.
The free motion front truck mimics the unlimited movement of a surfboard -pump for speed and turn in any direction- while the rear truck acts as a stabilizing pivot point, like the fins in a surfboard.
