Concrete Waves: The Beginner's Book of Surfskating

Flat days build surfers. So does concrete. This is the complete beginner's book of surfskating from Carve My Waves™ — the land-born twin of surfing, from its sidewalk-surfing roots to the modern truck systems that let a board carve like it's on water. Gear, language, shared-space etiquette, and the full step-by-step path to pumping, carving, and flowing — no pushing required.

Inside:

• The World — what surfskating is and where it came from, from 1960s sidewalk surfers to the Venice-born truck that changed everything
• The Gear — how a surfskate truck actually works, choosing wheelbase and wheels, helmets and pads, care basics — plus Start With Nothing: how to begin with no board and no budget
• The Language — 30+ real terms: pumping, carving, snaps, flow, lines — defined warm and clean
• Etiquette, Rules & Regulations — pedestrians always have right-of-way, skatepark rotation, street-session sense, spot respect, local rules
• First Sessions — stance, pushing, braking, and your first pump on flat ground — including Train Before You Own: the boardless home drills that build balance before the board
• The Moves — stance, pushing, pumping (generating speed from nothing), carving, frontside and backside snaps, and first bowl & flow basics — each with setup, steps, mistakes, and a drill
• Events & The Scene — jams, meetups, pump-track days, expos, and demo days
• The Journey — a progression map from first month to first year, plus a 7-day practice log
