In the urban city, we may not have the waves to surf to surf on, but we do have the infrastructure of a skate park to surf.
While surfskate in Malaysia may not be as popular as in the Western countries, there are certainly a group of passionate surfers among young Malaysians. It may be deemed as an extreme sports once in the past, but today, it can be an activity of leisure and fun.
Since the past few years, surfskating’s popularity has been on the rise thanks to the enthusiastic surfing community sharing their pursuit on social media. People from different ages have been getting involved in this activity and even some parents are sending their kids for lessons on surfskating.
Several local skating community, Surfskate Malaysia and TTDI Skateboarding Community has been playing their part to promote surfskate as a healthy activity by organising events to generate more interest from the public.
Surfskate Malaysia has been active recently with their events such as the Surfskate Sundae, Surfskate Jam Session, Surf Your City and several other sessions that opens up the opportunity for those who wants to explore surfskating.
