FORGET EVERYTHING YOU'VE SEEN IN THE WORLD OF SURFSKATE

ATTENTION: We’ve created a page dedicated to this topic. To access it, simply find the “HOW TO CHOOSE” tab in the main menu.

Below is a summary of the key criteria for choosing:

1. BEGINNER or EXPERIENCED
   OVNI surfskates are designed for a specific audience, aiming to provide the best surfskating experience possible. Therefore, more aggressive surfskates are not suitable for beginners, and equipment designed for beginners doesn’t meet the needs of the more daring and radical crowd. Check out the tables and descriptions of each model, and choose your OVNI surfskate based on this important criterion.
2. WHAT SURF STYLE
   For those who already surf, this criterion is crucial. OVNI is the only surfskate brand that allows you to simulate various types of surfboards. If you already surf, check the tables and descriptions of each model and choose your OVNI surfskate based on this factor.
3. TYPE OF WAVE
   OVNI surfskates can also be chosen based on the type of surface you plan to skate on, just like surfboards are selected based on wave types. If you prefer radical surfing and love performing tricks in bowls or skate parks, choose a surfskate with the OVNI ANDROMEDA surfskate truck. If you plan to surf on flat surfaces and small waves (flat and/or gently inclined surfaces), opt for a surfskate with the OVNI ORION or SIRIUS surf simulator truck.The ORION model is best for lighter and smaller individuals and works best at lower speeds.
   The SIRIUS model is more suitable for taller/heavier individuals and performs well at both low and medium speeds.
4. AGE/WEIGHT/HEIGHT
   First and foremost, pay attention to the age and/or height of the person who will be using the surfskate. A person who is small in stature and/or very light will not be able to maneuver a larger surfskate or one with a medium/heavy spring and bushings setup. If you're choosing for a child aged 4-6, opt for a KIDS surfskate.
   For light and short individuals, choose a MINI SIMMONS surfskate.
   All other models are designed for use by teenagers and adults of average or taller height. For this group, the other criteria outlined above should apply.

OVNI is the surfskate brand founded on innovation, both technological and design. Therefore, it is expected that an OVNI surfskate embodies the latest technologies combined with innovative design.

We’ve innovated nearly every component of the surfskate, and with that, we’ve created the FIRST TRUE SURFSKATE in the world.

We are the only brand in the world that offers three different surfskate trucks, and with them, the first and only surfskate quiver in the world, each with specific characteristics for different surfing styles, wave types, and skill levels.

We’ve innovated the rear truck, invented aluminum pads, created shapes with curves and outlines identical to surfboards, introduced the leash cup, new grips, finishes, and more.

We understand that sometimes the number of innovations in an OVNI surfskate can be overwhelming or even intimidating for those accustomed to common surfskates, but this is how we see things, and we can’t deny our true nature: to evolve this wonderful sport called surfskating!

We know it is a very recent sport, and that there is no influencer in this discipline worthy of the name. Our mission also involves educating the practitioners of this sport so that, little by little, they learn about the various aspects of surfskate, its complexity, and the elements that make it up. This way, they can understand why OVNI is LIGHT-YEARS AHEAD of any other surfskate brand, and why those who use it are too.

There are two schools of thought on what is the best surfskate for beginners: more stable or most agile?

OVNI settled the debate by creating a surfskate that is more stable than the others, yet still agile.

Surfskating is based on alternating imbalances, and there’s no way to learn this discipline without putting yourself in imbalance. Therefore, when someone claims that a stable surfskate is better for beginners because it’s harder to fall with it, we respond that it is also MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO LEARN WITH IT!

What we recommend is choosing an OVNI surfskate for beginners (the FUNBOARD model, the same board used in surf initiation), which, despite being more stable, still allows the full range of movement required in surfing.

After that, just hire a surfskate instructor, and you’ll be surfing in no time. And safely too!

As the saying goes, "The cheap ends up being expensive."

There are countless cases of people who spent their money on "cheap" equipment, only to later come to us asking for help to upgrade or buy a new one. We are here to warn you about this, so you make the right choice from the start, avoiding wasting your money.

Another reason to get it right from your first purchase is the result you'll get.

OVNI GUARANTEES THAT WITH OUR EQUIPMENT, IT'S EASIER TO LEARN THAN TO QUIT.

Riding a surfskate is incredibly enjoyable, it's a healthy addiction that will never let you go: a good kind of addiction! With OVNI surfskates, satisfaction is guaranteed, and your progress is quick. On the other hand, equipment from other brands demands endless dedication and effort to persist in learning, but without ever providing satisfactory results.

The best surfboards are handmade, one by one, customized for each surfer. This production method is meant solely for artisans (shapers), as it is uneconomical for a factory, making large-scale production impossible.

The same rule applies to surfskates, but driven by mass production, surfskate brands have chosen to prioritize profit over quality and the performance of their customers.

Thus, a dilemma arises: make profit or elevate the quality of the equipment?

OVNI, by establishing a new balance between profit and quality, is beginning to bring the same concept of "customization" from surfing to surfskates. We offer not only equipment for various surfing styles, wave types, and skill levels, but also allow for some degree of customization, so the equipment can be adapted to meet each individual's requirements.

OVNI believes that it is indeed possible to reconcile a company’s profitability, which is crucial for its survival, with the qualitative improvement of the equipment produced, which is essential for the technical evolution of surfskating practitioners.

No, you are absolutely right. For you. Everyone values different aspects.

However, what bothered us from the start is that in surfing, there have long been boards that are true works of art, in addition to the regular boards, and in surfskating, no brand had cared about design yet.

We found that humiliating for this wonderful sport of surfskating.

OVNI wanted to change that. So, for those who seek performance, OVNI delivers the best, and for those who also seek design along with performance, OVNI delivers that too.

Just to remind you, beauty doesn’t interfere with performance at all.

 Concave shapes are intended for those who seek more grip and control in situations of surfing on steeper walls or for executing radical maneuvers.

On the other hand, the convex shapes created by OVNI are designed for those who seek the closest resemblance to surfing, for technical training on flat surfaces or on gently sloped walls.

OVNI decks are all made from 100% bamboo because we aim to create equipment that provides maximum performance. This material is lighter, stronger, and more durable than wood.

 The screws used by OVNI have a "French design" because they allow for greater precision in the trucks and prevent damage to the shape over time.
