The C-Hawk 33″ is our own version of one of California’s acclaimed shaper Chris Christenson’s best-sellers. We combined Chris’ extensive knowledge with our own experience designing surfskate shapes to create a feel similar to the rail-to-rail surfing you can feel when riding a C-Hawk surfboard, while maintaining a similar shape and aesthetic.
We achieved this by drawing the widest part 4 inches below the front axle and lengthening this width almost all the way to the tail. By placing the shafts 17.85″ apart we achieved more stability and surfboard-like control. To get the most out of the board, we recommend that you try putting your feet in different positions when skating, as this will give you very different sensations.
The board has been shaped with a tail rocker and medium concave, attributes that will help you keep your feet gripping the board. The C-Hawk 33″ is mounted with the YOW Meraki S5 system and the Ura 66x51mm 78a wheels, which will give you all the grip you need to keep your turns under control.
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!
