GEAR FOR EVERY STYLE, EVERY BOARD, EVERY RIDE

At Merlin Skateboards, we understand that every board type has its own unique characteristics, and every rider has their own preferences. That's why we offer a selection of equipment designed to suit every style: street or park skating, urban cruising, downhill longboarding, smooth carving, or pumping surfskates.

Whether you're building a complete setup or simply want to improve your current board, you'll find reliable, high-performance components here that are compatible with different formats: skateboard, mini cruiser, cruiser, longboard or surfskate.
Our approach: combining functionality, durability and riding pleasure.

Every component plays a role in the board's behavior. That's why we choose our equipment carefully, always keeping comfort, precision, and feel in mind.
Our goal: to allow you to build a setup that suits you, adapted to your practice and your playing field.

Trucks: The Basis of Maneuverability

Trucks are the pivot point of your board. Their geometry, width, and stiffness directly influence the stability, curve radius, and responsiveness of your ride. For skateboarding, trucks are preferred, while for longboarding or surfskating, more flexible and directional systems are often chosen, favoring carving or pumping.

Wheels: speed, grip and comfort

The choice of wheels depends on your riding style and the type of surface. Softer wheels are better for absorbing bumps when cruising or freeriding, while harder wheels are better for technical tricks or speed in the park. Diameter also plays a role: smaller wheels are better for maneuverability, larger wheels are better for inertia and stability. Each wheel influences how you feel on the ground.

Bearings: fluidity and endurance

Bearings are often discreet, yet essential. They ensure smooth rotation, reduce friction, and extend your thrust. A good set of bearings significantly improves your board's performance, providing speed and silence. We select reliable bearings, suitable for the requirements of all types of riding.

Grip, pads and adjustments

The grip tape ensures your stability on the board. Depending on your needs, it can be more or less abrasive, ensuring control and safety. The pads (or risers) absorb shocks and adjust the height of the trucks to prevent wheelbite. These elements improve both riding comfort and the longevity of your board.

Screws: the detail that holds everything together

Essential, screws ensure the solidity of your assembly. Properly sized, they guarantee a reliable connection between the deck, trucks, and pads. We offer screws suitable for all types of assemblies, made of treated steel to withstand mechanical stress and humidity. A good assembly starts with good screws.
