Product Description
The Waikiki 40” is our longest board. Its shape design is inspired by the classic longboards that locals from Waikiki, in Hawaii, have been surfing with for decades.
Practice = cross-stepping, wide turns, and nose ride thanks to a large surface and super long wheelbase (26”). Molded in a low concave for an authentic vintage feeling. Mounted with the Meraki (S5) system and 66x51mm 80A (medium) Ura wheels for a smooth ride on most terrains.
Meraki S5 Trucks:
- The Yow Meraki Surfskate system is the culmination of the last 5 years of research and development. A more simplified and reinforced design alongside Yow’s patented spring system, making it one of the most unique surf skate setups in the world.
- Yow has removed the expendable parts of their old system while keeping their patented spring system intact and reinforced the essential parts while making it light and more resistant. In addition, improving the aesthetics as well.
- Overall, Yow’s new system is now unified with their very own skate trucks making it more stable without sacrificing the surfing flow Yow is well known for. Take your surf skating to the next level!

Yow Waikiki Classic 40" Surfskate Cruising Longboard - Key Questions Answered
Is this a good choice if I want surf-style carving more than straight cruising?
Yes. The YOW surfskate system is made for tight turns, pumping, and flowing carve lines, so it feels more like surfing on pavement than a standard cruiser. It’s a strong fit if your priority is boardwalk fun or surf training.
How stable does a 40-inch board feel for a first-time rider?
The longer deck gives you a reassuring stance and more room to move, which helps new riders settle in faster. Just expect a surfier, more responsive feel than a traditional longboard at speed.
What should I expect from the ride compared with a regular longboard?
Expect quicker direction changes and easier speed generation from pumping. Compared with a standard longboard setup, it feels looser in front and more lively in carves, with less straight-line calm.
Would this work well for neighborhood cruising and beachside sessions?
Yes, especially if your rides are about flow rather than just getting from point A to B. It shines on smooth paths, boardwalks, and open spaces where you can lean, pump, and carve.
What kind of rider gets the most out of this board?
It suits riders who want a surf-inspired feel, from beginners building confidence to experienced skaters chasing deeper turns. If you want relaxed cruising with a more active ride, this is a smart match.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

I am loving this board so far! I reached out to LBUSA to get some help finding the right board for me. They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
