I just found out about carver boards! They have special features that simulate surfing. Here's a little about them from someone that actually uses one:
"It really does feel like a shortboard because it has a special front truck that has a swing arm which allows for way harder turns than conventional skateboards and RipStiks. You can literally do 100 cutbacks/bottom turns/top turns in half an hour! It slides really easily due to the big-soft wheels. The front truck also has a spring which allows for faster and better replication of generating speed in surfing. You really have to lift your weight on and off the board to get it moving."
Click here to check 'em out! They have different types of boards as well. Click any of the links below to view a specific type of board.
They are expensive, but if you're landlocked, like me, and are planning on going to the beach for vacay, then train with these! (Start saving up!) That way, the next time you hit the beach, you'll have improved—without even surfing!
