When the waves take a breather, and you’re left with that unshakable urge to ride, there’s no need to sit still. Imagine a way to keep that surf flow alive, carving through the streets with the same ease you feel out on the water. Welcome to the world of electric skateboarding — the ultimate off-season companion for surfers who call Tauranga and Mount Maunganui home.
Why Electric Skateboards Are Perfect for Surfers 🏄♂️
Electric skateboards offer a unique ride that mimics the rhythm and balance of surfing, making them an easy fit for those who live and breathe board sports. With Chillboarders' electric skateboards, you’re not just rolling down the street; you’re gliding. The motorized boost gives you that “paddle-free” acceleration, so you can start every ride with smooth, effortless motion, just like catching a wave. And the best part? No sand, no crowds — just open road and your electric board humming underfoot.
Maintaining Your Flow in the Off-Season 💪
As any surfer knows, the off-season is the perfect time to tune up your skills and keep your balance sharp. Electric skateboards are a brilliant way to keep your core engaged and your turns tight, giving you a similar muscle workout to those long paddle-outs and big carve-outs. You’ll also stay in tune with that flow state, keeping the mind-body connection strong so that when the surf picks up, you’re primed and ready.
Chillboarders’ boards are designed to be intuitive, so even if you’re new to the electric side of skating, you’ll pick up the ride in no time. Adjusting speed and braking with ease, you can practice carving turns and wide sweeping moves just like you would on the water. It’s the ultimate hack for surfers to stay in shape — and it’s a blast.
Exploring Tauranga’s Scenic Rides 🛤️
Tauranga’s streets, coastline paths, and winding trails offer some of the most scenic electric skateboarding routes around. Here are some local favorites where you can catch that surf vibe on wheels:
Mount Maunganui Beachfront 🌅
Start near the beach, and let the ocean breeze keep you cool as you glide along the beachfront paths. With views of the waves rolling in on one side and the rugged Mount on the other, it’s the closest thing to surfing on land.
Pilot Bay Loop 🐬
Perfect for those who want to take it easy, the Pilot Bay Loop is a chill route with gentle curves and stunning water views. Keep an eye on the horizon — you might just spot a dolphin or two playing in the bay.
Tauranga Harbour Walk 🌄
For those who love a longer ride, this path takes you along the stunning Tauranga Harbour, weaving through native bush and open vistas. The ride is smooth and packed with gorgeous lookouts — an ideal place to take your board for a sunset cruise.
