Really great video, thank you. I was looking for a fun board to play with while keeping up with my kids.

Thank you, awesome video addition to your blog. Keep up the good work, I find your writing style and approach to the highlighted topics most comprehensible. The Amazon's price for this board is also very neat at the moment, but the shipping cost to Ukraine ($124.11) doubles the price, which totally kills the idea of ordering one. As for the Slide surfskates, I couldn't even find online option to order one outside of Germany, despite the close proximity, thus Flow has an advantage, in theory.

Thanks for the kind words! Agree, Slide is hard to get except in Germany, the Spanish manufacturer Sancheski doesn't sell direct for some reason (I talked to one of the founders). There are a couple of models on Amazon UK (e.g. this one: amzn.to/2VzyNZp) but only a few. The shipping cost from the US to Ukraine is indeed prohibitive! Flow is just getting started internationally, the company that owns the brand (Origin) already has worldwide distribution for its other leading brands (DB, Rayne, etc) so my guess is it shouldn't be too long before we start seeing Flow boards in Europe.

Он сейчас в Украине продается за 170 баксов. Хочу себе карвер, но цену не тяну. Начала изучать аналоги и попала на этот. Только что-то на амазоне отзывы не очень, говорят дешевые материалы, колеса пластмассовые, дека не очень. Ну судя по цене наверное так и есть увы

Nice job Jesse; thanks for the excelent review and all the great info. I noticed you also have an Omakase. Wondering if you have ever tried the Flow Trucks and Wheels on that deck to see how the Flow SurfSkate system worked with the longer wheel base options of the Omakase. I have not been able to locate a Flow Wedge at the moment, but I can find some other Flow Surf Skates with a smaller deck and much shorter wheel base than the Wedge... however I really want to use this to surf train with a foot placement and stance as close as possible to my actual surfboard stance, and the 29" Flow Boards I can find right now will likely require fare too much of a stance modification for my personal goals.... so I was thinking of getting an Omakase deck and using the trucks/wheels set up from the shorter Flow Board. Curious if you have some experience with this particular setup? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I also saw you had a link for the Omakase (on one of your other reviews), so I would certainly use your link as my way of thanking you for any assistance you might be able to provide with this. Peace.

between the this board and the swell tech , which would be better to just pump and generate speed without ever pushing off the ground ? i have a small concrete area i just want to pump in without ever putting my foot on the ground . cheers

The Flow is a lot easier than the Swell Tech. The ST is more surf focused, looks and feels more like a surfboard. It's longer and the surf truck is a lot less stable. I love the ST for surf training, really emulates surfing well. You can do 360s and easy backslides. But it takes a bit of getting used to, plus it rides pretty high. The ST truck is pretty massive. The newer version is a bit more stable than the previous one, but it still feels closer to the YOW than the Carver. The Flow is nice and stable, if you want to jump on a board and start pumping right away it's a good choice. It's mellow but turns quite well compared to a regular cruiser. Sort of like a Carver CX, but the great thing about the Flow is that it has a low ride, which keeps you more confidence and stability, and you can also push on it without too much effort if you need to.

If I were to tighten the trucks would it work well for commuting ? I am stuck between getting a cruiser board or one of these . I like the idea of practicing surfing on days that are flat but I need it to be able to commute comfortably as well . Would this be a good option ?

I haven't really tried tightening the front truck - I did try loosening it though, didn't make a huge difference, still turny and stable. I find it comfortable to commute on this board for say 5-7 miles, smooth and pleasant. It's relatively low riding (much lower than a CX) so pushing is easier. The wide blunt nose is super comfortable for medium distance. The truck is loose but I find the board is not twitchy e.g. like a YOW, it's like there are stoppers that constrain the deck lean. Low lean results in more comfort for long rides (IMHO). This is a combination I really like about this board, it's nice and relaxing for getting around yet still quite surfy. Hope this helps

What are your thoughts on putting waterborne trucks on the flow to make it a smoother ride? I find I can’t pump easily on this one unless going downhill.

Haven't tried it to be honest, personally I'm able to pump quite well with the stock setup. Adding the Waterborne might work but the ride will be much higher - the low ride is what I like most on the flow

Yeah they're very similar, same sourcing I think. The overall experience is different though, I like Slide and Flow in different ways, I would say the Slide has more lean.

@@SPO1TV I disagree, both brands probably source their trucks from the same manufacturer, but each has its own evolution over time. Slide has been around for a while while Flow is newer on the market. I like Flow as well, it rides really good and I think it's a good option for beginner and average surf skaters.

Nope, it isn't, very decent quality board from a reputable company - Origin Distribution, they make DB Longboards.
