I freaking love my Ripsurf, the wheels do need to be changed though, I've kept the default bearings but loosened the wheels slightly, gives a better spin. This things great for the skate park and it gives me a feeling of being on the waves. I love it.
I’ve had my ripsurf for about 3-4 years now I love it I’ve changed the bearings in mine from the original ones to spitfire cheapshots speed bearings and they are great good speed and smooth I’ve ridden in a parking lot that has a slight hill and haven’t come off yet all in all I love my ripsurf because I don’t live near the beach so I ride around town on it
That's awesome David. It's definitely a fun board to ride! I think switching out the bearings was a good idea. Have you had to change out your wheels yet?
I'm a bit new to the skater community lol, i looked up the cheap shots but remain a bit hesitant. Is it a one size fits all thing, and do they require a specific tool to change out? Or can I just buy a regular 8 pack?
I ride that board and it's fun. I went to the skate park and they have a long straight curve like a wave before it breaks. It looks like I'm riding it just like a wave. You go up from the entrance speed and kick your back foot out like a surfer to go back down again. I feel the board is more suited like snowboarding. But there's no course to test it. Just like a surfboard too, it needs to be fitted to it height.
Haha same! I would ride my ripstik all the time as a kid. If you’re a surfer, go with this. But the ripstik does give you more maneuverability since it has that metal bar in the middle
Would you say this is better than the ripstik air pro? Both are 1 piece of plastic but on the air pro the trucks are spring loaded and pop back into place and can only turn so much so I’m worried it might not turn and curve as good as the Ripsurf or OG ripstik
@@fabzfeast Wish I could help you here, but I haven't tried the ripstik air pro before, so don't want to give you any false info. If I had to guess, I'd say the OG ripstik with the metal bar, will give you the most maneuverability
Yeah, the problem is the back wheel wears quickly. It's best to use at skateparks where the surface is smooth, and yeah, if you hit a pebble or a stick you will come to an abrupt stop!! I'm thinking of getting a surfskate instead for those reasons. I think a surfskate will be faster as well, as I'm quite heavy and the Ripsurfer's thin wheels have a lot of friction.
I've been looking for a waveboard to get for the past 2 months (but couldn't find the one i wanted which was the "The Wave LX" saw this surf board looking one a lot but still hesitating on which one to pick.
Please can you guys do a video of good replacement Ripstik wheels!? Basically no real info about what to get and what to avoid. Also could you guys do a video on the effects of different bearings? Would love to know if I should get looser bearings for an OG Ripstik
I think the rip-surf is super cool! I was thinking about buying it! I love riding my rip-stick. Do you think that it is kinda like a rip-stick? Could you tell me is it’s kinda like a rip-stick?
Seem you never had learned a better Casterboard technique. You can do more than just wiggle with the hips. The wheels are bad, but the bearings are fine. Come on, you really pose this ABEC argument? You know that this value doesn't really matter. And the 24mm width wheels are an advantage with small stones. Just look at Inliner vs. Rollerskates.
man i dont even wanna longboard at all but i gotta sub cause of the quality, its almost suspicious how well you are doing from outta nowhere lol

Nice man! Yeah I really do enjoy riding mine, but still haven’t tried it as a skatepark. I can see why it’d feel more like being on a wave
@Daniel Guy yeah man, it flows real good on smooth ground, not so good on rough tarmac though.
Your channel is so underrated! Keep up the great videos! :)
Appreciate that a ton! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Meh
Hes thumbnails isn’t very great but the video is so he doesn’t get the views he deserves.
It seems like this channel with at least 2000 subs quality is amazing
Appreciate that a ton! Just trying to put out helpful content

No I haven’t had to change the wheels just yet but I’ll probably do that in the next month or so when I’ve got a bit of spare time
@@davidziebell1693 Gotcha, nice man. Thanks for watching - I appreciate your comment! 🤙🏼
@Daniel Guy mine hasn’t broken yet but do only weigh around 70-75kg I’m not real heavy

wow. on point ! love the review 😍
Thanks bro! Appreciate that 🤙🏼

Ok but your videos are so underrated and so organised. You deserve wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more subs ngl.
Wow, thanks so much! Appreciate that
In argentina we have a moolahh (skate brand of argentina) ripsurf with grip tape
i had a ripstick as a kid and im looking to buy one again, but then i came across this baby and now i cant decide which ones to buy lol

"Hey mum, can i have a skateboard for christmas".
The skateboard mum gets me

Take good Inliner wheels with 84a - 88a and try better spacers between the bearings.

Addie Frasier it's just a ripstik with a surf look
I’ve taken mine down a few hills, but I also have a skateboard that does 40 mph and a scooter that does 75 I guess I have a Deathwish
Yeah man it's fun I just wish it was bigger
Totally agree man
Love your vids!
Thanks man, I appreciate that! 🤙🏼
Is there bigger wheels with soft tires ?
I like the sleek design the default kind of ripstick has but this could be fun
Yeah I hear ya. If you're a surfer, it's a cool idea though
@@concrete-waves I know some people that live closer to beaches and surf quite a bit
This thing looks so cool and seems like fun
Could this be used just for riding around a campground
Is it like a rip stick or dose it feel different
So is this better or worse than a rip stick?
high quality of the video but only 300’s subs? hell no. gonna see all new video from you
Haha! Appreciate that bro 😎🤙🏼
Looks perfect for bombing hills and stand up slides.
Lol, it's ideal for that 😂
Should I buy a ripstik or a skateboard btw I’m 14 sooo I have no clue
Ripstick!!!! It’s way better and you have more control
@@thatboytrent7499 thanks 🙏
@@thatboytrent7499 oh btw what size should I get?
Oh nvm I recommend getting the normal ripstick because the ripstick g is for more experienced riders so just get the normal one there almost the same
@@thatboytrent7499 Thanks 😊
I'd get it to drill some holes and fit some trucks
Maybe a beginner surfer who struggles with balance would appreciate this board?
Yeah I think that’s a fair statement to make
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for always supporting!
I like carver
this sounds weird but ware u get this shorts
Shorts are by Bylt Basics. They're pretty expensive... Quality is really good though
thanks new but love the Channel
Like the tail
Noice 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching bro!

Yeah it does come with a spare wheel, you're right
