    Jut got my Yow! one thing with the Yow: you can lock the swivel mechanism on the front truck, thus turning the Yow into a normal cruzer. Really handy for beginners or just for well cruzing!

      OP ROYALE - oh yeh you can tighten both the normal part of the truck and also lock the pivot part so it’s more of a normal cruiser. I say keep it loosey goosey though for surfboard carves. 🤙🏻

    How does it ride in less than ideal conditions (rough asphalt, cobblestone..)?

    • @driifttv894
      @driifttv894  4 года назад +2

      The big soft wheels are good for handling a lot of bumpy surfaces. But ideally you'd be on a smoother surface when practicing carving!

    I know the yow boards have a locking mechanic to make it a cruiser, how good is the locking mechanic? I heard that it's still pretty loose after the lock.

    • @driifttv894

      Not sure. Never locked it. I use it as a surf skate.

    Which surfskate would you recommend for improving surfing, this one or smooth star boards?

    • @driifttv894
      @driifttv894  4 года назад

      You can't go wrong with Yow or Smooth Star. Depending on your height and weight, would just mean a slightly wider/narrower deck and longer/shorter wheelbase. Both brands have good options!

    What do you think about Yow comparing to Smoothstar and Carver C7? Is the Truck system too looser or I can drop some hills with it? Thank you!

    • @driifttv894
      @driifttv894  4 года назад +2

      In our opinion, it is definitely on par with a Smoothstar 34 filipe toledo #77 (which is a wicked board!), it's cheaper too. We've not yet tested a Carver, but from what we've heard, you'll get tighter turns out of the Smoothstar and the Yow. I wouldn't be bombing hills on it, but you can definitely carve your way down. Hope this helps.

      I have a Sixty-Six Fish, SS #77, Yow Fistral and Carver Swallow CX.
      Swapped the CX for C7 and waiting for the rain to stop to see if it improves the Carver.
      SS and Yow are fantastic. Both very enjoyable boards. Yow a touch more lose and technical IMHO. Different wheels to the SS and pipe as well.
      Sixty-Six is also a really enjoyable board, same length as Carver.
      High hopes for the C7 trucks otherwise it’s going on eBay.

    Bro, good day! if compare to smoothstar what's the difference and thus truck it turns in 285° radius?

      @jaysonwebsther2698 4 года назад +1

      @@driifttv894 if it the trucks can turn in 285° radius cause I tested the carver turns vs the smoothstar, for carver it turns in 245° while the smoothstar it turns in 285°, so for me still smoothstar is the best surf trainer in the market.
