They're good and work on all sorts of set ups. The only tweak I made was to change the bushings in the rail adapter to some firmer ones for just a little less action and got better speed from pumps.
I've been sharing this on the surfskate subreddit for a bit now. I found while beta testing the fin that I can toss some Riptide Krank Fatcones in the rail adapter, wide side board side, and it's 1000x better than any riser you can get. I can actually steer my wb setup with my back foot and the fatcones keep me super stable. The lean is much more controlled
I purchased the Waterborne Surf adapter to install it on my Globe The All Times longboard. To my bitter surprise, I found that the front adapter housing was too narrow to accommodate the truck base. I had to file the base of the front truck half a millimeter on one side and half a millimeter on the other to get it in. I believe that the manufacturer and all advisors of this product should warn potential buyers that they may encounter this difficulty. Other than that, the adapter works just fine.
Nice review - pretty much spot on. I might try my penny truck on my waterborne setup for fun. Also have a Swelltech Hybrid, and cross training between them is awesome - I've noticed the waterborne forces you to push and drive onto the front foot when you're coming out of a turn to keep momentum, so when I jump on the swelltech - which is like liquid by comparison - I'm able to maintain more speed coming out of turns.
Great review. I have the front adapter without the back part. I just have the riser in the back. I don't really understand what the addition for the back trick is meant to accomplish.
The rail adapter (back) allows the deck to lean even more. Some people love this huge amount of play. The rail adapter also allows the wheels to maintain surface contact and hence better grip when doing deep carves
Hi, have you tried waterborne adapter with RKP trucks (e.g. paris v3)? Do you think what is the best setup for WB adapter? (traditional kingpin or reserve kingpin trucks)
When are you going to get your hands on the Smoothstar Felipe Toledo 77 and review that as a surfskate vs surf trainer? Am anxiously awaiting your opinion of the Toledo 77 as a surf trainer. It is an amazing board.
I've got the Felipe Toledo 77 & a Carver snapper (cx trunks). Been using them both since nov. 19' . To me the #77 is by far..... the best surfskate trainer I've tried. You will love it..
@@jedinaiit2345 I have not tried the Swelltech but I've heard good things about it. As long as you love it, it's all that matters! ;) Compared between the smoothstar and the carver though, I'd pick the smoothstar every day.
@@jbernard4673 how tall are you brutha? I’m six feet and my swelly has a 21 inch wheel base from bearing to bearing. It feels good. I want something similar
very nice setup, it seems to remind the swelltech, but with much easier pumping. I would worry about the nose being lower than the tail, however your riding is excellent, I wonder if you just compensate with your skills or if you actually like a lower nose. The fix is easy, use a regular 6 inch skate truck in the back . I never heard about anybody breaking it, but it is always good to have a nose longer than the tip of the adapter, specially for beginners that can kill somebody smashing it on a leg :D gotta look more of your videos, thanks for sharing and work hard on them
Yeah, i was borrowing from swelltech's design of narrower front truck. I didn't find the difference in height between back and front to be very significant. Thanks for the tips 😊🤙
I have a Carver Mini Simms with c7 & love carving on it. Have a Shake Jun 31x7.8” board & considering fitting it with a waterborne. I currently use solely my back foot (compression/extension) when distance pumping on my carver. Can I do the same with the waterborne ? Will the waterborne fit on my Shake board or my Mini Simms? I can swap them about if needed. The wheel base on the carver deck is 15” just 1” more then the Shake deck. After using the waterborne, is the carving better then the c7 if fitted on the same deck? Many thanks again for your videos which this 60yo started learning from 3 months ago:) Keep up the good work!
Props for the excellent review, it is informative and detailed plus the riding is stellar. I have a CX Carver, a Penny Highline, & a Waterborne Surf & Rail adapter on a Landyachtz Tugboat with 155mm Bear Trucks in front & back with 60mm 78a OJ's. I noticed you have those narrow Penny trucks in front, are they better in comparison if you have the same size truck back & front? I'm thinking of doing the same on the Landyachtz Tugboat as an experiment. I'm pretty sure your point of view would be spot since you've tried them, just to want to make sure if it is worth considering. I'm happy with my current quiver but curious how the narrow front truck performs.
hmmm, so is this adaptor something you add to your existing trucks or is this a whole truck that you replace with whatever trucks are already on your board? Is the rail adaptor part of the truck adaptor or is it 2 pieces. I"m a surfer but I don't anything on the rail or talk about the rail adaptor only the wheel adaptor.
very good quality of video and explanations. I bought this adapter after seeing your video. it takes a continuous noise (squealing) coming from the front adapter. I don't know what to do to fix this problem
Awesome Review Shane, thanks for sharing. I just happen to break my Carver CX front truck, stupid accident. Would you recommend the waterborne adapter with the existing rear Carver truck. Or also get the rear waterborne adapter. Cheers
@@shanelai2515 Brilliant idea! I like where you are going with that! Would really love to see your Swell Tech review someday! Subbed btw! Enjoyed your #77 Toledo SStar review, hopefully you can compare it to the Swell Tech to decide the better surf trainer. No need to reiterate on Carver though- too over done on YT.
Hey, excellent channel and vid, thanks Shane - liked and subscribed. Did you find the shorter wheelbase due to the rail adapter negative in any way? Was the shorter wheelbase problematic, or did it make your surf skate turn even more aggressively? I just purchased the Waterborne surf skate adapter via Penny's website because I plan to install it on my 27" or 32" Penny board, but I wasn't even aware of the rail adapter until today, and it sounds like the additional 30 degrees of lean it provides makes it a winner, eh? Thanks for your feedback. Keep up the great job with your channel! Cheers!
Great review. Looking forward to mine. What size is the deck that you are using? Any idea what the wheelbase is? I’m worried about using too short of a deck.
Hi Shane, great review. I have a few questions. The rear trucks, do they need to be really tight? The front trucks, how tight do they need to be? I have tried something crazy but it may be overkill, I've put the Surfskate adapter on but used Gullwing sidewinder trucks on both front and back and its just sooooooo loose. The surfskate adapter is not the waterbourne one so not sure it has that spring action that straightens it out like yours. I also have a convex board so not sure if i've really overdone it. Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations in advance
Hi i have the waterborne adapter as well and it is amazing. I have put it on a longboard pintail and makes it like a LDP set up , you can really surf/pump for km. I have also used the back rail only in combination with carver c7 on a carver deck. It is super fun. The back rail improve a lot surfability if a carver. I am curious to hear your opinion.
Does having the narrower penny trucks in the front vs. regular longboard trucks allow you to carve harder or what? Also, what would the ride be like if you had regular longboard trucks in the back instead of the carver?
Im thinking of getting both the surf and rail adapter for a friend whose using a skateboard. In your video there wasn't any risers used, do you think I will need to buy it for them?
Is there an ideal wheel base? I feel maybe my first set up is a bit short. What is the purpose of 2 different size trucks? Is their an ideal wheel durometer? I currently have indy 169 trucks and G Bones wheels set up. Just did a video of my set up and first ride. It didn't go so well 😂. But I think it will be a good time and a bit of a break from my normal slam sessions of trying to learn tricks at 44.
Hi!! I've a questios for you! It's possible to install only the rail adapter on a Carver? It's possible without damage the deck? The differenc between the front and the back truck woulb be confortable? Thanks!! I like your videos? I'm learning surfskating following your tips. Thanks a lot!!
Yes it's possible to install on a carver deck. But the rail adapter will add a lot of height on the back. So you will need to figure out a way to level off the board. Also most carver board are a little short. So the rail adapter might shorten the wheelbase even more making the ride difficult
Hello Shane, for a very "surfy" feel (like Swelltech) what sorta (front) trucks work best under the WB adapter ? Should they be stiff or have a bit of play like the trucks you'd typically find on a cruiser?
Another question hehe 🙂. I just bought both WB adapters but I have no board yet. I'm trying to find a cheap good option so I'm looking at Decathlon. Do you have any experience or knowledge to share about what board of theirs would be best with the adapter ? I'm thinking either the longboard fish classic or the longboard fish 500.
Haven't tried any of the decathlon boards. I think their board do have extra holes to adjust the wheelbase, which is a good thing. But i recommend trying to copy Smoothstar design
Hi Shane, thanks for your awesome videos. What type of deck works best with the WB adapter to get the best surf feel? Are cruisers decks a good fit? Are cruiser decks usually concave? Also, would it be weird to use a "normal" symmetrical skateboard deck?
You definitely want a bit of concave to help secure your feet on the board and to push more into the the turns. Also look for a wheelbase that matches your surfing stance or slightly longer.
(replying to myself) I've set them up on a cheap-ish cruiser, it works pretty well. You do get a surfskate experience but personnally I found that a proper surfskate is sligthly better (I've tried swelltech and yow which I both liked). The advantage of waterborne is that it's slightly cheaper and you can set it up on any board.
Wheelbite can happen at the back depending which truck / configuration you mount on it. I get wheelbite with YOW. You might want a tighter truck or harder bushing if you mount the rail adapter
HI Shane, thanks for the review. I really like your methodical approach to teaching and enhancing learning with visual aids. Keep up the great work, mate!👍🏾😀 I've just started out surf skating... actually skating on a board itself. Period. And your vids have really been helpful. Thank you!

But I am conscious of my every move, groove, sway, & rhythm. How my hands, arms, hips, legs, ankles move speeds or slows. I like more pronounced carves, but it slows down the speed as opposed to higher frequency little waves. At least after about 6 weeks since starting off, with about 3 times a week practice, I can now surf a 4 km flat bitumen running track without needing to kick the pavement at all. Just carving. Lots more to learn. Having fun along the way. Cheers!
It can work. Never tried it. Rail adapter is going to make the ride really smooth. But i will only use then when riding on flat. Not in skate parks and bowls

Wouldn'it be better having the same front and back truck?
The board would then be the same height all along.

What do you reckon is the ideal wheelbase for these adapters to feel as if I’m riding a shortboard?

@@shanelai2515 awesome thanks man, enjoying your tutorial vids btw, keep smashing it👌
@@bocap1980 thanks so much 🤙
Thanks for sharing this one sir
would there be a big difference without the back rail adapter?
Yeah, the rail adapter really makes everything smoother and allows you to lean more on the rail
But note the additional weight on the board though
สุดยอดครับ ดูปุ๊ป ซื้อปั๊ปเลย
Hope someone sees this even tho the video is old, does anyone have any knowledge/experience on how well these adapters perform with rather cheap/slightly below average quality trucks?
I’ve heard that since the adapters do all the work, the trucks really don’t matter
What's the size of the deck/board you use in this vídeo?
31" long
@@shanelai2515 I am 6" tall and I have just bought a Waterborne surf adapter. I have no idea of what deck size and wheelbase is good for me. I guess I will use Smoothstar FT 77# as a reference and copy its dimensions. I am a surfer. This is my first surfskate. Nice vídeos! Thanks!
Thanks!
this reminds me of the rip stick
Does anyone know the size of his board??
Haha I thought I was the only one using my penny board trucks for this
Why a 22" penny truck instead of a wider truck?
The narrower front truck is more responsive to force applied
Great review
Thanks 🤙
how does the waterborne fair in a bowl? cant seem to find much videos of that. waterborne should really learn from yow in terms of marketing to inspire noobs like myself
Too heavy and high and too much range of motion of the rail adapter for the bowl
Also how can can I contribute to the channel apart from subscribing and liking?
Thanks for the video. I’ve never heard mechanism pronounced MECHAN-ism before. Always MECH-anism. Learned about skateboards and culture

Waterborne adapter is simply the best...everything else is trash... have mine on an Alva Pesado Grande...and boom!
