Ibon Amatriain signature surfskate by YOW
Ibon Amatriain has been considered the best big wave rider in Europe for two decades. Ibon’s innovative approach includes yoga and stretching, but also building up his arm muscles and using surf skates to refine his surfing technique. YOW surfskates are ideal when it comes to realistically transferring the unique feeling of surfing to the street.
Riding style
The movement on the YOW board is so similar to that on a surfboard that it acts as a surf trainer, as you directly learn the posture and weight shift required for surfing.Â
The YOW System
The YOW Meraki S5 surf skate system is the latest generation and is significantly lighter than its forerunner. The vast rotation of the front truck allows for tight turns, but due to the 5 mm spring, it is a little less responsive than the S4 system. It was designed for riders above 50 kg body weight and for all those who are looking for a more stable ride.
Setup
The components are perfectly adjusted to the board. The soft wheels provide the best grip and speed, even on rough surfaces. The deck comes in a proven maple wood construction.
