YOW SURF SKATE MERAKI SYSTEM S5

The “Meraki” S5 system represents the pinnacle of technology in surfskates. After more than five years of research and development, the Yow team has succeeded in creating a surfskate truck that is virtually one-of-a-kind.

The incredible performance of the “Meraki” S5 is designed to deliver turns so realistic that they make your riding powerful and responsive.

To make the system so perfect, the technical components of the truck have been reinforced, and it has also been made much lighter. These modifications make the whole setup very stable and high-performing. It’s time to take your surfskate to the next level.

With this Meraki system, your turns will be very different from before. The truck’s responsiveness allows you to make extreme turns at all speeds.

This system is suitable for all skill levels, even if you’re a beginner. It’s great for beginners because you’ll quickly learn how to tackle turns in the best possible way.

V4 SKATE SYSTEM

The V4 system has been redesigned from the old Yow S4 to adapt any type of skate truck to its base and transform any type of board into a surfskate. The system consists of two bases that hold the truck inside and allow for greater torsion, creating a movement that feels just like riding a wave.

The difference between the V4 and the S5 is that this system is designed to make your cruiser or longboard perform much better in terms of turns, effectively turning it into a super surf skate.

The V4 system is available in two versions. The first features a 4mm coil, which is ideal for riders weighing under 50 kg.

The 5mm coil, on the other hand, is perfect for riders weighing over 50 kg and will give you an authentic, realistic experience as if you were out in the ocean.

Additionally, the V4 system can be locked, instantly transforming your Yow surfskate into a perfect cruiser.

THE BASQUE COUNTRY: THE BIRTHPLACE OF YOW SURFSKATE

Yow Surf was born from the extreme surfing culture that has always been a hallmark of the Basque Country and its coastlines exposed to the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Especially in a specific area of the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, we find a population that, nestled between the sea and the mountains, continues the tradition of its people’s strong character.

In these areas, people have been fighting for years to preserve the territory and the cultural integrity of its inhabitants. The Basque people possess a culture that is truly unique, especially when it comes to food, cuisine, and local products.

In many ways, the region of wind, sun, and sea stands out. This is what Yow Surf aims to capture: its deep connection to this region, which weaves the country’s traditions into everything it does.

Basque tradition is rich in poets, literature, music, and above all, sports. The bond between the region’s surfers, fishermen, and the spirit of hard work embodies the unity among people who share the same ecosystem.

Yow Surf was born in this area where the sport has always taken center stage.

The Yow brand was founded in the city of Donosti, better known as San Sebastián. Here, for decades, surfing has been in the DNA of the locals, who have learned to ride the immense waves that the ocean brings daily to the Basque coast.

YOW SURF X PUKAS, X PYZEL, AND THE TEAM

Yow Surf has collaborated with many famous shapers to give its surf skateboards an original touch. In 2019, the Yow “Pukas” collaboration was launched with the world-renowned board builder.

The board model presented is named “Dark” and measures 43.5″. The name derives from the latest designs the shaper applied to his creations during the famous “Stab in the Dark” surfboard contest created by Axel Lorentz. Pukas is one of the world’s top shapers.

The second amazing collaboration is with the shaper “Pyzel.”

Yow creates the same design as the famous surfboards. The Yow Surf Pro team consists of Medina, Christenson, and Aritz Aranburu. These names are making surfing history, and Yow Surf is tailor-made for them to train out of the water when they’re not on a surfboard.

SURF SKATE GROWING IN POPULARITY

These surf skateboards are in high demand and are among the first to sell out in skate shops. In recent years, Yow Surf has rapidly climbed the ranks as the world’s top surf skate brand.

Surf skateboarding has evolved very rapidly in recent years. The technology applied to surf skate trucks has made it possible for all surfers who want to train out of the water to have fun and get a workout.

Along the entire coast, surf skateboards have become increasingly popular, and not just among surfers.

In addition to surfers, there are also people who want to try surf skateboarding, understand the movements, and get some training. Yow surf skateboards are tested daily by the team, which pushes the performance of these amazing surf skates to the limit.

YOW SURF RADIO AND PROMO VIDEOS

Yow Surf has created its own radio station called “Yow Surf Radio.” This section of the brand’s website features the radio station, where all the music listened to by surf skate riders and surfers is shared.

This is a way to share their music selections with everyone. This project mainly started during the COVID lockdown.

The project continues, and we can find some really cool and trendy playlists that the best surfers use before their sessions.

One standout selection on the radio is Alex Pons’ playlist. His selection brings together a range of popular genres, spanning indie, psychedelic, folk, hip hop, and electro-afro-punk.

All you have to do is choose from the various models in the collection, such as the Yow J Bay 33, Hossegor 29, Lakey Peak 32, or the Padang Padang 34. Don’t forget the pro models and special collaborations.
