Surfskate, a surfing‑inspired form of skateboarding, is emerging as a new outdoor sport and attraction in Moalboal, long known for its sardine run and world‑class diving. Using a specially designed front truck that allows deep carving turns and continuous pumping, surfskate lets riders experience a surfing‑like feel on streets and coastal roads.
In recent months, local enthusiasts and visitors have been seen riding surfskates at the Moalboal “tulay” or bridge, particularly during late‑afternoon and sunset sessions that showcase the town’s coastal scenery. The bridge area provides a scenic stretch that is ideal for carving and cruising, making it a natural venue for informal surfskate meet‑ups and potential organized activities.
The Municipal Government of Moalboal notes that surfskate offers young people and sports‑minded residents a healthy recreational outlet while reinforcing the town’s image as a hub for adventure and lifestyle tourism. Plans are being explored for introductory clinics, fun rides, and small‑scale events that will highlight the Moalboal bridge as an official surfskate spot, subject to safety and traffic considerations.
The LGU encourages the public to support responsible and safety‑oriented surfskate sessions by wearing protective gear, respecting traffic rules, and coordinating with barangay and municipal authorities for any organized activities.
