Surfskate - or concrete surfing

Surfskate was born in the 1960s and 1970s, when surfers were looking for a way to hone their skills on days without waves. Initially, simple modifications to skateboards allowed them to mimic movements from the water, but the real breakthrough came with the development of special trucks that allowed for smooth and dynamic turns reminiscent of surfing. Over time, surfskate has become not only a training tool, but also a separate discipline that draws both surfers and skateboard enthusiasts around the world.

Surfskate in Poland is gaining popularity, especially among people who want to feel the atmosphere of surfing without having to go to the ocean. Urban skateparks, asphalt promenades and concrete pumptracks are becoming places where surfskate enthusiasts hone their skills. In larger cities such as Warsaw, Gdansk and Krakow, groups and communities are forming to organize joint training sessions, workshops and events. Surfskate is also a great way to prepare for the surf season on the Baltic Sea, where, despite smaller waves, the passion for surfing grows every year.
