KERNOW SURFSKATE ACADEMY
Why Smoothstar?
Smoothstar is the perfect surf trainer because it was built for that specific purpose. Founded in 2004, it's the world's best surf trainer, as voted by the world's leading surf coaches. It was the first surf trainer to be used in a high-performance surfing center, now famously known as HPC, with surf coach Sasha Stocker, who, at the time, was Australia's National Surf Coach.
All of these factors, combined with my personal experience, were reasons why I joined the Smoothstar family. Now, you can get your very own Smoothstar too. If you need help choosing the right one for you, send us a message or an email, and we will assist you in making the selection.
Detailed review
Very detailed review from non-surfer and comparing with most of Surfskates on market, if you don't wanna read it all through here is final verdict:
The Smoothstar Thruster 1 has always been rated by surfers as one of the top surf trainers. It feels very loose, fluid, and smooth and has a very tight turning radius.
If you’re a surfer looking for a surf trainer, I think Smoothstar should be one of your top considerations. If you’re a non-surfer, however, I think you’re much better off with a Carver, YOW, Waterborne, or Slide.
