The C-Hawk 33″ is our skate version of Chris’s highest-performance fish surfboard. We combined Chris’s knowledge with our own experience in designing surfskate shapes in order to recreate the rail-to-rail feeling you can get when riding the C-Hawk surfboard, while maintaining a similar shape and aesthetic.
We did this by drawing the widest part of the deck 4 inches behind the front truck and stretching it almost until the tail, then placing the trucks 17.85″ apart for the wheelbase. We highly recommend that you try different foot placements to get different feelings for a narrower stance, try placing the front foot where the widest part of the board ends.
Molded with a tail rocker and a medium concave that gives enough grip for your feet not to move. Mounted with the Meraki (S5) system and 66 x 51mm 80A (medium) Ura wheels, which give you enough grip to perform controlled turns while still helping you to execute slides.
MERAKI S5 TRUCKS:
The Yow Meraki SurfSkate system is the culmination of the last 5 years of research and development. A more simplified and reinforced design alongside Yow’s patented spring system, making it one of the most unique surfskate setups in the world.
Yow has removed the expendable parts of their old system while keeping their patented spring system intact and reinforced the essential parts while making it light and more resistant. In addition, improving the aesthetics as well. Overall, Yow’s new system is now unified to their very own skate trucks making it more stable without sacrificing the surfing flow Yow is well known for. Take your surfskating to the next level!
