UPGRADE YOUR SURFSKATE

Welcome to Surfskate Love!

I’m Steve Palmer, the founder of Surfskate Love. I fell in love with surfskating on the Carver Tyler 777 in October of 2020.

After experiencing how hard it was to choose my surfskate and learn how to surfskate, I wanted to help other beginners like me.

So I started this website and my YouTube channel to make surfskating more accessible for beginners and to grow the sport.

Welcome to Surfskate Love, where you’ll find everything you need to know about surfskating.
