I am a beginner/intermediate surfer so was looking for good on land training. This board is prefect for those just starting out with surfing and surf skating. A lot more affordable that the alternatives but definitely gets the job done!

Really good competitively priced surf skate

I bought this surf skate few weeks ago, and I love it. I really enjoy carving with it and to be fair it looks beautiful. The only thing is that the rear pad doesn't grip that much and my foot sometimes slip when snapping or trying some more aggressive turns pushing with the back foot. Is there any way that I could replace this this pad with something more grippy? I think having the same finish as the rest of the board would be actually better. Apart from that, this is a great product for the price.

Overall Oxelo Carve 540 is one great surfskate that has long wheelbase and nice design. But I've to be honest and put it out there that...due to bad design that makes the front bushing (rubber bearing) broke in 2 weeks. 1. It's from the rubber bearing is too soft for my weight (86 kg.) 2. The cup bearing is too shallow so when the rubber is being pushed against, the bearing cuts it. Suggestion 1. Offer, or sell as spare part for the rubber bearing the comes with various hardness. I prefer 92 - 93a for my weight ratio 2. redesign that one little cup bearing (the one at is almost at the end by the last nut.) Other than that....this is one great surfskate you can afford!

Excellent for the price. It’s responsive, smooth and stable. Nice and tall with plenty of tilt.

The best so far

Five Stars for sure

Great carve surf skate

Bought this as an alternative to Carver and Smoothstar boards. Is it as good? No idea, I haven't used one. Is it good? Sure is. Definitely feels like surfing turns and is proving really helpful in surf drills. Great practice for pumping and carving. Very glad I bought it.

My Review on YouTube I think had a role in making this board so popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqgCDFTxBBc I wrote my review because I had no idea what to expect and the board really surpassed my expectation given what I paid. Definitely 5/5 for value, but one star removed because it will not match a high end surfskate in quality and the design will somewhat limit more advanced riding. Check out the video for more on my thoughts about the board, but I am writing to say that I hope Decathlon on working on a more intermediate version after the popularity of this one for those riders who learned using this board and are ready to step up into surfskating in skateparks. I'd be happy to share some ideas so feel free to reach out if you'd like.

The value for the price here is akin to Decathalon products. I've ridden carvers, waterbornes, and other surfskates and this board holds up to any of them for the main manufacturers that are far more expensive. I have not hit any drawbacks yet. If you are looking for a board that will get you into surfskating without compromising on performance get this. I have only tried it instore and on flatland so far, though there are youtube video reviews that go into depth of the great all around performance.

Trucks does provide a smooth pumping action, able to pick up speed with a few pumps. Wheels, personally i would switch to a softer wheels for Hong Kong's bumpy pavement surface. Board, abit heavier than usual, however is good that they provide extra grip on the tail for the slide maneuvers.
