The Ripper Surfskate | SALT BORN Australia
Ride the Feeling of Surfing. Anywhere.
When the swell disappears, your progression doesn’t have to.
The Salt Born Ripper Surfskate is designed to bring the feeling of surfing onto the streets, helping you build balance, flow and confidence between sessions. Every carve, pump and turn develops the same movement patterns that transfer directly back into your surfing.
Whether you’re just starting your surfing journey or looking to sharpen your technique, the Ripper provides an incredibly smooth, surf-like ride that’s equally at home carving coastal paths, cruising your local streets or warming up before paddling out.
Designed by surfers and tested in Australian conditions, the Salt Born Ripper isn’t just a skateboard—it’s a surf training tool built for life in and around the ocean.
Why Ride a Surfskate?
Surfskates are one of the best ways to improve your surfing when the waves aren’t cooperating.
Unlike a traditional skateboard, the surf-style front truck allows tighter turns and flowing rail-to-rail movement that closely mimics a surfboard.
Regular surfskate sessions help improve:
- Balance and stability
- Rail-to-rail transitions
- Compression and extension
- Weight transfer
- Bottom turns
- Cutbacks
- Speed generation through pumping
- Surf fitness and coordination
The result is more confidence when you paddle back into the ocean.

Built for Australian Conditions
Australia has some of the world’s best waves—but not every day delivers perfect surf.
The Salt Born Ripper was created for those in-between days. The days when it’s too small, too windy or you’re simply short on time.
Instead of waiting for the next swell, you can keep building the movements that matter.
Because every session counts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Salt Born Ripper suitable for beginners?
Yes. While it feels very different to a traditional skateboard, beginners quickly learn how to carve and pump with practice.
Will riding a surfskate improve my surfing?
Surfskating develops many of the same movement patterns used while surfing, including balance, body positioning, compression, extension and rail-to-rail transitions. It’s one of the best ways to stay surf-ready between swells.
Can I ride it as a normal cruiser?
Absolutely. The Ripper is equally enjoyable for casual cruising, carving around paths and everyday riding.
Do I need previous skateboarding experience?
No. Many surfers actually find surfskates easier to learn because the movement feels much more natural than a traditional skateboard.
What terrain is best?
Smooth footpaths, coastal paths, bike paths and sealed roads provide the best experience.
Ocean Made.

Bought this for my niece, and she’s always out riding it! She says it feels just like surfing on the street and loves how smoothly it carves. She hasn’t stopped talking about how much fun it is and rides it every chance she gets. Highly recommend!
