YOW Waikiki 40" Merak S5 - 2023 - Complete Surfskate

Waikiki. For the older ones, it's a brand of t-shirts featuring a funny monkey.

For others, it's the mythical spot of surf, the beach of Honolulu and perhaps the birthplace of surfing.

Home spot of the legend, Duke Kahanamoku, the waves of Waikiki unfold perfectly and are the hosts of many competitions throughout the year.

Surfing Waikiki is a bit like going back to the source, and that's exactly what this surfskate YOW Waikiki offers us.

The longest board of the YOW range offers us a shape resolutely retro, and almost without concave, inspired by the old longboards of the locals of Hawaii.

And its program is also directly inspired by the way the pioneers used to ride, with a lot of cross-stepping and nose riding. For fans of the old Longboard surf videos, the Waikiki YOW allows you to go back to the origins and start practicing old-school surfing... on the pavement.

For carving and pumping, the Waikiki (and its wheelbase 26"!) offers a lot of comfort and a smooth movement, to make wide turns.

The truck YOW Meraki S5 is perfect for this smooth style, and offers enough stability for lighter riders to do some cross-stepping and dancing.

The YOW Waikiki 40" Meraki S5 is a long, comfortable and smooth board for longboard surfing.
