Skateboard wheels for surf skating and cruising
Surf skate and longboard wheels are larger and softer than street skate wheels — typically 70mm to 85mm and 77a to 83a durometer. Larger wheels roll over cracks and rough pavement more easily. Softer wheels grip better and provide a smoother ride. Harder wheels are faster on smooth surfaces but more sensitive to imperfections.
Orangatang wheels
Orangatang is the premium wheel brand for surf skating and longboarding. The In Heat (75mm) is their classic surf skate wheel — available in 77a (softest, most grip), 80a (versatile everyday), and 83a (faster, harder). The Durian (75mm) is a larger-contact-patch wheel for more grip and traction. The Stimulus (70mm) is a slightly smaller wheel for more responsive feel.
Bones Reds bearings
Bones Reds are the most widely used bearing in skateboarding. Affordable, consistent, and reliable. The right choice for most surfers who want to keep their surf skate rolling smoothly without spending a lot on bearings.
Loaded Jehu V2 bearings
A step up from Bones Reds. The Jehu V2 uses precision steel races and removable rubber shields for easy cleaning. Notably smooth roll, longer lifespan in regular use. Good choice for surfers who skate frequently and want bearings that last.
Carver ABEC 7 bearing set
Carver's own ABEC 7 bearings — purpose built for their truck systems. A clean upgrade for any Carver board.
