⚡ YOW Pipe Black 32" Meraki S5 – Fluid carving with generous footing
The YOW Pipe Black 32" uses a versatile surfskate format with a wide 10" deck and an 18.5" wheelbase. This combination leaves plenty of room for the feet and favours smooth, flowing turns for carving, pumping and practising surf-inspired weight transfers.
⚡ Meraki S5: generating speed through movement
The YOW Meraki S5 uses an integrated spring mechanism in the front truck to provide a large turning and leaning range. It lets the rider generate speed through pumping instead of constantly pushing on the ground. The 159 mm hanger provides a suitably broad base for the 10" deck.
★ Wide deck, medium concave and tail rocker
The medium concave gives clear foot references without feeling overly aggressive. The tail rocker raises the rear of the deck and helps support the back foot through stronger turns, direction changes and manoeuvres. The short nose and longer tail give the Pipe a clearly directional outline.
★ URA 66 mm / 78A wheels: grip and comfort
The YOW URA 66 x 51 mm / 78A wheels use a soft compound that favours grip and absorbs some vibration on asphalt. Their stated 49 mm contact patch increases the amount of urethane in contact with the ground, matching the carving and pumping programme well.

✅ Outside opinion
The Pipe Black 32" is particularly well suited to riders who want a broad and stable platform underfoot without losing the mobility of the Meraki S5. Its 18.5" wheelbase creates a smooth turning rhythm, while the tail rocker helps secure the rear foot. It is a coherent setup for practising pumping and surf-style lines on asphalt, with soft wheels that favour grip and comfort.
