About

For too long, the surfskate industry has been obsessed with appearances, boards pointlessly designed to look like surfboards rather than created to perform. That frustration is what gave birth to Flowstate.

A surfer for over 40 years, I was fortunate to be born in an area of fantastic surf. Fate would have it that I later move as an adult to Sussex/Brighton where the waves are usually junk. Surfskating seemed a logical thing to hone muscle memory and stay sharp.

But there was a big issue. The world of surfskate seemed to be based on looks, like a surfskate was just a toy. Fish style decks to look like surfboards, is just stupid. Sacrificing deck area needed for grabs and foot power, to look like a totally different craft makes no sense. There is nothing about shaping a deck to look like fish surfboard that improves the performance.

The bit you actually connect with, the deck and how you put the power down, how you engage the rails is largely ignored.

I don’t make toys, I craft tools. Decks like the Koan and Zen are designed first and foremost for performance, built to complement any truck, unleashing power, speed and movement. Every carve, every turn, every shift of weight is a dialogue between your feet, brain and board, a pure, unfiltered ride. Cupped concave’s, progressive lines - not ne square inch isn't focussed or precise.

Flowstate isn’t about imitation. It’s about connection, flow, and the joy of movement. It’s for riders who want to experience what surfskating can really feel like when a deck is engineered with purpose, precision, and the spirit of flow, be that in a carpark or a bowl.

Flowstate is about precision, purpose, and pleasure in motion. About the joy of riding a tool designed to let you find your flowstate.
