So I'd love some thoughts on my current setup, I actually have hodge-podged it together from a couple of different boards,

So the deck, bushings and wheels are from the mindless longboards Cayuga

While the trucks are from the decathlon surfskate 540

I've wedged the front and from my experience right now I'm loving it as the board has really easy pumpability but I'm wondering if I'm potentially putting it together wrong.

You would want to skate in different shoes, but you do you.

Jk, nice setup XD

There's nothing wrong in skating.

Question: Do you want pumping or surfing?

A low degree RKP may give better return to center and energy transfer than the rear surf truck. Try that out.

why do you have risers on top of the board when your trucks are top mounted?

[u/marmata17 → u/hotakaPAD]

Hehehe, there's no point actually but I had some extra risers lying around and it looked cooler than no risers 🤷🏼‍♂️

To me personally, it looks a little Frankenstein, however, I’ve been riding surfskate setups for a while, and I never really got how fun pumping surfskate style can be until I went to a longer wheelbase. My current surfskate cruiser is on a 18.9 inch wheelbase, and going longer really made it click for me. I prefer a kicktail, but that’s a preference. I could see you covering a lot of ground on a paved trail on this setup.
