It works on Longboard Drop Through, Zig Zag much easy. On Skateboard it needs extra rail adapter
I have Drop Through Longboard brand Atom that I bought from Amazon. I thought It's perfect for carving. Then I made a leap of faith getting this Waterborne adaptor after watching YouTube clips. And this thing is so amazing. Just get it. Don't ask why. I almost spend another $250 on Surf skate, this adapter saves me money. Pro -Easy Installation. -High quality front (surf adapter) -Screws and nuts provided. -Carving on longboard much more easy. -Sharp turn even much more. -On flat surface you don't have to push, it runs by itself when you move your ankle up and down. -It works like Ripstick with balance of 4 wheels that you don't have to touch the ground. -It feels more smoothly on uneven ground with small holes, small bumps, (analogy: feels like the luxury car suspension). Cons: -Plastic Rail (back) Adapter. Not the same as the one in their website as of 2020 Jan. it looks cheap. -Speed will slow down a bit due to the attachment raising your board from the ground. -It makes the board heavier so it will be harder to do kick flip trick etc. Overall, BIG POSITIVE. I sacrifice the "trick-ability" for comfort mobility. Must Have if you are more into carving zig zag moves etc. NOTE: If you have a skateboard, highly recommended to get the Rail adapter to increase turn ratio. But if you have a longboard, you don't have to get the rail adapter, since longboard truck is flexible enough for you to just twisting your hip to move the longboard without the need for your foot to step down on the ground to push and move forward.

Ditch Carver, Surfskate, or RipSurf -- this is legit!
This simple adapter is super legit for surf inspired carving and cross-training on your skateboard. I was looking heavily into the surfksates and Carver style skateboard completes, but then discovered this on some message boards. I'm over 30yo, have skated and snowboarded since a teen, and have more recently gotten into surfing. This is a great cross training tool for improving your surfing. The next waves I caught in a sessions after using this for a week had immediate impact on my fluidity and transition between turns and getting down the line quicker. The best part is it'll work with your current skateboard/longboard and you don't need to buy a new pricey complete to satisfy your surf cross-training or carving skate style. I would recommend putting this on a 30"+ cruiser or longboard style skateboard, not your street popsicle deck you take to the park. Super fun add-on to your skateboard and gives it a soulful, pump-able carve that legitimately feels like you are surfing.

Super fun
So much fun! Great for practicing surf turns. Especially helpful for practicing keeping ur speed thru the turns. Every little driveway ramp is now a little concrete wave! Had this thing for about a month now, still getting used to it, but 1) going fast is pretty scary. I reckon you get the most out of it at medium, or even slow speed. 2) the adopter looks and feels sturdy. I reckon it'll last. It is also quite heavy, and having that weight at the end of the board means u have to adjust a bit, especially the kick turns etc. I mounted it on a Globe cruiser (33 inch long, see pic). That thing was pretty loose to begin with but you cannot compare the maneuverability to that of the adopter. It is a whole other thing. Can't wait to try it on a skate park. One thing is that the cruiser came with angled spacers so I could not use the ones supplied with the kit. The result is that the front of the board is now a bit higher than the back, but I don't reckon that makes too much of a difference. I find that this setup is a bit too long for me (I'm 167cm, 63kg, mind u). I think it'd be perfect with an old school 30inch deck with a bit of width to it. All n all I'm super happy with it. Helps keeps this land bound surfer sane!

Feels like surfing on Land. Super Aweseome!
I am so glad i bought this waterborne surf adapter. I was going to buy a whole surf skateboard, but thought I would try this since i have so many boards already. It is one of the coolest gadgets I have gotten for skating. I have been trying to improve my surfing on regular longboard skateboards, but they just don't have the same action as this waterborne adapter. This truly makes it feel like you are surfing, and it is really improving my surfing. I highly recommend this awesome adapter if you want to improve your surfing, or just have more fun surf skating around. This thing is AWESOME!!!!!

SIDEWALK SURFING
Waterborne is the real deal! Converted my Bart Slasher by Santa Cruz into a sidewalk surfer and I’m stoked! It was easy to install. I kept the riser pads that came with board on and added the rear riser that came with the truck adapter. Zero wheel bite, pumps just like my Carver and rides smoother. Zero wheel wobble when getting speed. Hits the backs like a champ and I can carve just like I’m surfing a fun day at Lowers. Totally worth it. Skateboard dimensions: Deck: 9.8" x 30.1" - Trucks: Bullet 150mm - Wheels: OJ Hot Juice 60mm

It really does make it feel like a surf skate!
I had a penny board 32" that I wanted to trick out and man do these work like a charm. The back risers for the back trucks are definitely similar to other surfskates and are sufficient for that surfskate feel. I weigh 250 and I have no fear of breaking these things too! I rated 4 because the installation is pretty tough without a friend to help hold stuff. In addition, I believed some direction on adjusting the adapter would be helpful. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether tightening the adapter itself or the truck would be better for pumping... Lots of trial and error. I think a quick guide on what happens when the adapter is tight or loose, when the truck (on the adapter) is tightened or loosened, and when the back truck is tight or loose... would be so so so helpful. If you are adapting your board to be like a typical surfskate, I recommend these heavily. In addition to that, upgrade your wheels to around 65-70mm. That does the trick forsure!

WOW!!
SURFSKATE ADAPTOR: Got the surfskate adapter and mounted it on my deck and after a month I am absolutely in love with it. This is how skating should always have been, I can do everything I can on a regular board but with 100% more maneuverability. And their customer service is just top notch. RAIL ADAPTOR: I didn't get the adaptor till later as I didnt think it would add something. Boy, was I wrong! Adds about 30% more maneuverability and I can do things on the street now that literally make people stop and stare with their mouths agape, plus it makes me able to do powerslides and still keep a grip on the board. This setup is life-changing!

It’s just ok. Quality is good.
Meh, it’s just ok. Maybe Better with the rear truck adapter too, but the cost seems high. If you are familiar with rip sticks, this gets you maybe 1/3 of the way to that kind of ride. I find the rip stick able to have more of a surfing motion at a pretty low cost. If you like regular long skateboards a lot already, this may be worth it to you. I’ve tried a carver board some time ago, and remember that a bit more fun than this on my existing longboard.

Todo ok, todo candela (RECOMENDADO)
Producto de muy buena calidad, cumple con las expectativas y más, lo he puesto en un longboard de 37 pulgadas y la sensación es buenísima, lo recomiendo 100% para iniciarte en el Surfskate ya que por muy poco obtienes buenos resultados 🤙 el video es de dos semanas después de tener el producto

Le meilleur système pour une Longboard surf.
Monté sur une Longboard maison, oukoumé, carbone, kevlar, époxy, avec trucs 195 , roues Flyweel 90, roulements céramique, brushings 90a à l’avant et 80a à l’arrière, c’est une pure merveille en Wing-skate. Les calmes arrières en bambou fournies sont top, super finition pour ce kit. Rien à voir avec mon ancien système avant qu’il fait sans cesse resserrer pour éviter les mauvaises surprises !!! Je conseille sans retenue !!!

Awesome device!
Took 20 minutes to convert longboard into surfboard! Great quality, easy installation and excellent conversion results.

Very good surf track. Good quality
I love it honestly. I only purchased the front track. However I need to pump a lot to keep speed. Is it because of the length of the board ( quite a small one) or because I don't have the rear rail. But 5 stars for sure.

Perfekt auch für longboard
Der Adapter hat nicht direkt gepasst, wir mussten ein paar Millimeter wegschleifen, das ging aber schnell und jetzt passt es. Hinten wurden 2 Blöcke, die mitgelieferten wurden, angeschraubt um die Höhe auszugleichen. Es macht soooo viel Spaß damit zu fahren! Enge kurven auch mit dem Longboard kein Problem. Perfekt
