Waveboards

Caster

• The main component of the waveboard in which the wheel is mounted. It is rotatable by 360 ° and bears the greatest share of load during movement.
• In some cheaper waveboards it is not replaceable. We recommend you rather pay a bit extra for a waveboard with a removable caster.
• Having quality bearings is important. These are usually marked ABEC 5 and higher. If you find that it jams when turning, it is time to replace it.

Length

• For children 6 to 10 years old, we recommend waveboard of up to 75 cm
• For older children, teenagers, and adults the ideal length is 86 cm and up 

Shape

• A centre-curved board gives you better stability and is easier to handle when doing tricks.

Wheels

• The most suitable diameter - 78 to 80 mm.
• Hardness - 88A. Generally speaking, the higher the number, the greater hardness. Harder wheels are faster and are subject to less wear. However, they have lower adhesion to the surface. The wear really depends primarily on your riding style and the type of surface you ride on.

Stop surfaces

• The safety element positioned at the bottom of the waveboard prevents the rider from leaning too much when making sharp turns or performing tricks and therefore reduces the risk of falling.

Capacity

• The bigger, the better - at least 90 kg. Remember that the rider's weight is distributed only on two wheels, and this leads to a much greater wear of the individual parts than the on the skateboard.
• When jumping or riding on one wheel, the load multiplies and may cause breakage of plastic.

Weight

• If you're planning to perform tricks or travel with your waveboard often, look for the lightest model. If you just ride most of the time, then you will find the differences in weight negligible.
