The Yow Kontiki 34″ remains one of the biggest boards in our High Performance Series and at the same time one of the most comfortable for radical maneuvers!
It continues to be one of the most chosen by our riders and customers for its versatility. Its size provides greater stability and comfort in speed situations. It is built with a very pronounced concave and rockers on the nose and tail for more grip and control in radical turns and aerials on vertical ramps. Its short wheelbase (17″) allows for tight and sharp turns.
Overall, mounted with the Meraki system (S5) and Ura wheels, which perfect this model as they will guarantee you a better control in your 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!

The second installment of YOW’s portrait series brings you a deeper look into the life of Belgian surfer and skater, Sascha Borrey. “Born by the North Sea” explores how a lack of ideal conditions can inspire creativity, and how, as long as we persist, we can find beauty and joy in the unexpected. ‘Have you ever heard the saying, jack of all trades, master of none?’ Well, Sascha Borrey is actually a master of all of them. Blame the unfavorable conditions or the inconsistency of weather patterns of the place he grew up in, but it’s places where things are hard to find that make you get more creative.
YOW was born as an alternative to surfing for those flat days and as a tool to make surfing available for landlocked surfers. After years of development we created a system that brings you the closest feeling to surfing on land. With YOW you can surf anywhere in the world. Pump, carve and tear the streets apart with YOW
