30 year old trying a SURFSKATE for the first time

- Life has been a drought yet again. It's time for a new board. This time round I got myself a Surfskate board from Decathlon, which kinda mimics surfing but on land and it looked relatively manageable for a 30 year old guy like myself.
I think this is my favourite hobby right now.

You're definitely an inspiration - can't tell that you're 30 by how easy you picked up surfskating! 🔥
Some experience from the previous boards and binging on surfskate tutorials helped. Hahah thanks for being a part of this journey 🙌🏻!
30 aint that old cmon bruh
@@heuksalman hahaha I was thinking the same thing with 29 .. I actually have a surfskate and learn like in a week! the tutorial do help Tho
Yo i got the same board in the vid just to say it has done me well. i love it.
Yeah I’m 33 and this video has me pumped!
NEVER let age define what you can or cannot do. This was crazy fun and I’m definitely not gonna stop here!
Man you damn brave so fast pump track liao! U should definitely check out the other boards like the Slides & YOWs guarantee a different experience. I bought the decathlon out of curiosity, but I also have a YOW, man the difference is stark! The tilt is deeper so the surf feel is even more flowly, pronounced and even tighter carves! Less chance of jacknifing as I saw in your video.
U can go to therideside and try out their boards even if you're not thinking of buying yet!
love this comment!! Age should never stop people from pursuing dreams :)
She's underage? NEVER let age define what you can do!
Wow! What a fast progression! Dude, your city is super dope, seems like it was built for skateboarders from the get go! It's just a dream to have such huge smooth surfaces to ride on! Plus all the lights, colors and just that style man.... It.s a surfer paradise!
Well done, mate! I stumbled across surf skating when my youngest child (12) asked for a longboard last year. Found that surf skating was sure more interesting than longboards and we decided to go for it.
Neither of us could skate. I was 52 and she was 12. So, exactly 1 year ago today (13 Aug 2020) we bought the same board you did, the Decathlon Oxelo 540 Carve Bird. It was the birds and the price that attracted us too!
It became a great papa and daughter bonding activity. Took us a month to get into it without having prior experience with boards but it then started to click and we are now carving the paths together. Love not having to put my foot down at all. Like 8km of carving with no foot down except on steep slopes and steps. I sure ain't gonna do ollies, flips n stuff. Too old for that shit! Just digging carving. Skate surfing is sick, man!
Didn't know about the park in cashew. Gotta check it out! Tks for sharing!
Keep on keepin' on, mate!👍🏽😀
Wow. What an amazing story. Great to know this could be such an awesome bonding sesh with your daughter. Keep rocking and surfing 🏄🏻♂️
Inspiring story, thanks for this. I’m next haha.
I’ll be 49 next month, and just bought a longboard last week. Never been on one, but wanting to try for a while now. This pandemic is just adding another (welcomed) delay as I’m scared to death, haha. Been learning the basic this past week and enjoyed it so much.
Never knew about surfskate but sounds like what I’ve been wanting to do in the first place; cruising for 8KM without putting my foot down, sounds exciting. Will give it a try next for sure.
Same story here, 9 / 47 - but just bought our boards, this is day 1 :)
Amazing compilation of surfskate learning, various beautiful environments and most important fun. Noob 55 year old downhill skateboarder and one of my comments (from sub) was to try surfskate to work on carving. Can’t even stand on the board, but will start training tomorrow (I have my own boards and bought 2 sets Carver C-7 that i put on today). Congrats on 4 week accelerated progression. Inspiring. 🙏🙇🏻♂️
Dude I have to say, your editing skills are outstanding. Dynamic shots, interesting camera angles, extremely chill and positive music, and not to mention you DO look cool on the board! Awesome stuff. Greetings from South Africa!
Really appreciate it man 🙏🏻 greetings from Singapore!
Just started at 32, intermediate skater and surfer my whole life and absolutely hooked!
It's addicting isn't it? When you realize each board is going to feel different. next thing you know, where did this collection of boards and parts come from?
Every single time, I'm on my 4th longboard now. 😂😂😂
yup!!! its a bit expensive for my income, but its so much fun!
About to be me with 4 boards lol
That’s where I’m at. Haha #muffafuzza
So true, I Started with 1 now I have 9 different setups😂😂
I'm 36 and I've just bought the exact same one a week ago in Barcelona ! I'll try to progress as fast as you did ! You make it look so easy !
Your honesty in the video makes it so enjoyable to watch!
Really admire the fact that your trying ur best to learn and is not afraid to try new things and not be shy about it
it rained. poor guy 😅. thanks for your sacrifice and review bro. I'm 37 and just went for surfskate classes. i'm so getting this board
Great to see more folks surfskating! Thanks for sharing the joy of surfskating!
The production quality is insane bro. I was hypnotized. What a beautiful city you live in.
That was so much fun to watch, both your journey as well as the video itself. Love your attitude and sense of humor. Keep it up!
Fantastic to see people my age taking up various things that usually younger people do. I’ve received got myself a mountain bike and just cruising around atm enjoying it a lot and I’ve thought about getting a cruiser board. Great to see someone my age trying new things. I don’t feeel as bad now
Can't wait to see more progression of your surf skating journey, you made me want to take up this as my hobby as well!!
dude this is so cool, i started to learn how to skate in my mid 20's. kinda inspires me on buying another cruiser board
I also just bought my first surf skate a few weeks ago! I started surfing and wanted something for those off days!! I had no prior experience and skateboard before so it’s nice to see I’m not the only one, and inspiring to see you go!
Going on a cruise now :)
Dude that looks so much fun! Wow, I'm packing my bags for Singapore! What a city - so much smooth concrete!
surfskates have imo the best aesthetic. just ordered my first one at 33 after not skating for like 16 years. can't wait to try it out.
Just ordered my first longboard and watching videos to pass the time. Great video showing your development - looking great for just a few weeks! Also Singapore looks beautiful. Dedinitely want to go someday.
Brilliant video, man. I'm 37 and just started on boards a couple years back. I thought my cruiser was fun but this looks awesome! Totally getting one now!
Sweeet 🤙🏻
So nice to see you trying new things again. The pump track looks so hard!! Admire your courage! Great video!
I was way ahead of myself at the pump tracks. Hahah thank you!
I'm turning 30 this Sept. Always wanted to cruise and skate. Looking at my first board, thanks for this 🧡 All the best.
Keep at it man!! That was a pretty tough track to start out on and so I was happy to see you continue learning after that :) also the videography is beautiful, Singapore looks wonderful!
Love how you guys warm up! Smart!!!
Nice video I got the same board for my 39th birthday a year ago. Then just switched out the wheels, bushings and bearings this year as a treat for 40th.
its a nice fun board and to be fair great for the money
I love to see how people all age start something new🤩 I'm 37 and ordered my first Skateboard some days ago. Was good at rollerskating when I was younger but didnt really try skateboarding but now I'm so excited😁 And this Surfskateboard is totally new to me but also pretty cool🤗
Awesome, really enjoyed watching you have so much fun
Keen on starting a new hobby!!!😍😍😍😍
I’m researching about it and came across your video!
Great video!!!
Didn’t know Decathlon have one!!
Hopefully there’s still stock!
Thanks for this amazing video I really enjoy it, and Singapore looks so incredible! you made me want to try surfskating
Man! This is inspiring. Just picked my pintail longboard, im psyched! Plus, i miss SG so much, cheers man
I absolutely loved this. Beautifully done. 🎥 ✨
The production value of this video is off the charts. Wow, literally wow.
The way you edit the video is so cinematic! Nice!
Love this!!! Ordered a surf skate for my 40th Birthday! I would love to see you hit up that pump track again after all that practice!
Amazing locations!! And you did great!
I am in my late thirties and am learning long board tricks, I really appreciate your information about spraining your ankle and the fear. I'm going to be a bit more careful.
You're a cool dude mate, was great video to watch, what a beautiful country Singapore is👍. You're definitely getting better champ keep these videos coming. Well done
Great video man. I have family in Singapore and Malaysia but I'm living overseas at the moment. and the first 10 seconds of the video are just so nostalgic 😅
Learned how to use it by watching your videos great job man
Your video it’s very encouraging and it inspire me to keep going on, I just started find it difficult want to give up but after watching your video I shall continue to work it out! And I love your video content! 👍🏻
Keep going on man. Go for classes to help speed up the process (therideside conducts surfskating classes in Singapore)
Now i am going to buy one. It looks so much fun. Thanks for the great video
Cool video and nice atittude bro. Keep pushing, and you will achieve your goal in no time, passion,fun and dedication are the keys to get into the skateboarding (Surfskate,longboard...) and you sure have those. Btw, how beautiful is Singapore, insane places.
Love your determination! Keep it up!
Great job man! Im 30 too and recently got back into skating. Got a 2nd hand landyachtz dinghy and loving it. I might try surfskate soon. Would recommend a good helmet though. Keep it up!🏄🏼♂️
Awesome to see ur progress bro! I only saw the end result but glad u documented the beginnings!
Your first ride was 10x better than mine. Thanks for the SICK shots!
That stadium and bridge looks like a surf skater's heaven
love the video bro.,.. can relate, just came back to SG after almost 6 years, got a mini cruiser and started learning to do manual skates.. i've been doing esk8 back in Dubai... stay safe bro
love the vid man i just stred surf skating and its really fun keep up the good work
Your video quality is amazing and I absolutely love your content! I'm 22 this year and your vids are definitely keeping me excited to grow up and learn more new things - especially with riding new boards and trying new hobbies!😁 Can I know what camera you're using currently - like your edit tools?
Thanks man, you’ve got time to experience so much! I’m using the Sony a7siii and editing with Premiere Pro
This is awesome! And very nicely edited too! I just recently learned to surf on a trip to California and fell in love with it but have no access to the ocean where I live haha. Thinking about getting a surf skate!
Wow~ looks awesome fun especially the pump track! Never knew Singapore has such a big boarding crowd. Wish I'd brought my surfskates over when I visited. Nice board btw~
Haha, this was awesome, SUBSCRIBED! I'm 66 just bought a surf skate a couple of months ago & loving it! You are killing it! YEEEWWW!! :)
No kidding 66?! You’re a champ sir
Nice! Might give this surf skate a try someday. Right now all i have is a 38” dropcruiser longboard.
I really enjoyed your video !!! I first watched your cruiser one with the Yamba Penny and it gives me want to try both !! Keep filming and sharing, really inspiring 🙏🏼 Peace from France
Wow that’s awesome. Thanks for popping by, stay well and safe 🙏🏻 hope to visit France soon!
I'm 42 and I have the same board but I changed the wheels to a 70mm 78A for better grip. Barely a month of learning as I don't ride everyday and haven't skated before bin my life. I'm enjoying it alot though. You are brave I would not want to try a pump track, yet. 😁
Hi buddy, I am 43 and thinking of taking it up. Any specs or boards for beginners?
all of these camera angles are amazing !
Oh man this video really hit home, and the production quality is incredible! At 35 I just bought the exact same board from Decathlon 2 weeks ago. 3 sessions in and I fell off in a concrete bowl and broke my foot. The fun and fear in this video is so relatable and entertaining!
your content is legit as always! Love that you tried something that I'm not familiar with. Makes me want to give it a try! Got a longboard that I haven't touched in awhile, but watching you skate through SG- I think it's time to bring the board back out! And maybe try out surf skating too (especially since I love the carving feeling on the longboard!)
Keep it up!
Thanks! Time to take that longboard out and ride 🤙🏻
Just posted my own vlog on day one of playing around with my SurfSkate! Had to give you credit so hope you don't mind that I mentioned you in my vlog! th-cam.com/video/HPOUOC6Mffo/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video edits, man. What cameras and lenses arw you using?
It looks like so much fun! Can’t wait to try it myself 😝😍
Unfortunately at my age my back can't deal with hard boards anymore due to spine compression during hard carving sessions. Neverthless I'm a mechanical design engineer so I experimented. I found that if I move my carving trucks to flexible fiberglass/bamboo boards that the shock absorbing properties has allowed me to pump for a few hours where before just 30 minutes to 1 hour caused too much soreness and pain in my lower back. Now surf skating and even longboarding is doable again!!!
something about the ambient audio at 02:23 to 02:30 sound so soothing, it tears me up.
thanks for your experience
This looks so fun. Thanks for beautiful footage. Where is that tunnel??
I’m a thirty year old and just bought a triton board to learn how to surf skate too! Thanks for the inspiration!
All the best man 🤙🏻
good on you man for trying new things, pumping is all in the legs. try to focus on bending on your knees and keeping your upper half level. As you come up with a bump let your knees absorb it then push back down on the other side. it's all about timing and feel. keep it up.
Where did you get your Longboard! Was looking to get one but don't know which ones are good
excellent video brother! very good edition. In the "pumptrack" you did not do it wrong, what prevented you from being able to achieve it was yourself, if you watch the video you will see that every time you fell it was because you got scared and lowered your back leg from the board. fear is the worst enemy. a big greeting from Argentina
quite cool leh, this one no need to kick? just twist and it keeps going?
I knew it was Singapore.... I was there last feb 2023.... It was a unique place.... And today i have just bought that carving skateboard!.
so cool! thanks for sharing ❤
32 here bro and just got my self my 1st surf skate.
I used to skate when i was 13 and unfortunately life got in the way snd i forgot that feeling.
Back to it now and loving it.
Keep at it bro and keep skating 🤙
Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Age is just a number 🤙🏻
Really loved the video man! I really loved the music choices and all the shots and the storytelling. This made me wanna visit Singapore really man.. And yeah I am gonna buy the penny board prototype from decathlon for real now and start my skateboarding journey.
Appreciate this 🙏🏻 all the best on this new hobby!
Good video my dude! The wife and me just started surfskating and we waiting for the same board to arrive by post any day now. Quick question if you got an answer: No wheel bite?
Another inspired latecomer to skateboarding here. Must have watched this video multiple times before deciding to buy the bird 540 which wasnt available for postage in the UK.
As it happens I managed to get a new yow c hawk for a touch more before I could get to decathlon!
Could you please tell me the song that's playing when you first try the board on the roof?
It's all about having fun!
Wow. The pump track looks fun...looks like it takes quite a lot of practice for a smooth ride. I'm 32. Lived in Singapore for 11 years and now based in Sydney. Seeing you cruising around iconic places brings lots of memories and nostalgia. I also picked up skateboarding a month ago during the lockdown, now very into surf-skating. Own the same Carve 540 as my first board, then upgraded to Yow Pukas Dark 2 (equivalent to a BMW/Merc of surfskate). Would love to cruise with you one day bro when I can visit Singapore. Keep cruising and shredding
Dope editing & soundtrack. Nice riding and filming. Awesome clip dude!
Thanks a lot! Saw a couple of your videos while learning, and your form is amazing 👌
You will fine, my 1st surfskate at 40 years old and my 1st teacher broad also Oxelo Carve 540 Bird Longboard, Thanks him and now my 2nd one is YOW Chiba model
Dude I loved your video so much that’s a like and subscribe.
I just ordered a long board.. I hope the board isn’t too heavy lol I might have to pick one of these up too.. my only concern? I’m a kinda of a big guy! (6’2”, 250lbs) I like that you found multiple boards. I’ve always wanted to own a board so knowing that they have different uses makes me want to look for one of these too.
Hi Shawn, what settings do you have on for your cam? Are you using any Picture Profile? Thanks!
Am also a 27 year old boy who picked up skateboarding the past month. You are not alone and awesome work there !!!
Sweeet 👌🏻
what an amazing pumptrack! great skills man! nice
hope to see you around the machperson neighbourhood with your new surfskate
Recommended. Great. Ive never heard of this before. Surfskate. Nice
Never knew we had this pump track in sg! Definitely gonna check it out
I just got myself a cruiser from decathlon and my gosh i fell in love. Call it quarter life crisis or whatever. I’m enjoying it too much!
ok im getting a penny surfskate now, that looks amazing, i love how you don't have to push
I am 44 years old and waiting for my delivery. It will come in two days and I can't wait. Nice video.
I feel your happiness and it makes me happy too! How long is that specific one you have? Keep up the great surfskating and good job you atw doing amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Glad you felt that way :) I think this board is 32 or 33. Been neglecting my surfskate unfortunately though
Love this!!
Very inspiring video! I am getting a surfskate soon😄
Hi! I watched your video and I think it's great that you got a taste for a surf skate! I bought a Yow board last year and since then I've only been riding a surf skate! By the way, I made my first attempts at the age of 48! You're never too old to try something new!
That’s sweet man 🤙🏻
I started riding the SmoothStar when I was 30.
Try riding switch, sure you'll pick it up just as quickly.
Great video!!
I am 35 years old, I just got my first longboard, and it feels really amazing, but before that I order already some waterborne adapters, I will be surfing just soon.
Yo really cool stuff, how do you film yourself while skating on the go like that? I'm referring to 6:59 of the video for instance.
Never regretted picking up longboarding at an old bone age!! After searching through highs and lows in Singapore, I managed to test out affordable and premium setups and consult the basics from *ThaneLife* !
(this is a money burning hobby… paying for quality will serve you well… maybe surfskate next 🤑)
