Carver Skateboards was established in 1996 in Venice, California, a hotspot for skateboarding and surf culture. The brand was founded by Greg Falk and Neil Carver, who shared a vision of creating skateboards that authentically replicated the experience of surfing on land. Drawing inspiration from surfboard design and surf mechanics, they developed a distinctive truck system, known as the C7, which allowed for dynamic and fluid surfing-like movements on the pavement. This innovation revolutionized the skateboarding industry and led to the birth of surf skateboarding as we know it today. Carver Surf Skateboards have left an indelible mark by pioneering the surf skateboarding movement. Their groundbreaking truck systems, commitment to quality, and support from top-tier athletes have solidified their reputation as a leading brand in the industry. Carver boards are celebrated for providing an authentic and exhilarating surfing experience on land, making them a favored choice for riders seeking to carve the streets with style and finesse.
Very prompt delivery, clear communication with constant updates on delivery status and an unbeatable price. Will order again from TBS. Oh, and the wheels are fantastic: a real step-up from the stock wheels.
After reading multiple reviews of different “step in/on” style bindings, I finally took the plunge and purchased the Nidecker Supermatics. After riding these for one day I’m totally convinced these are the way to go. Solid and perform just as described. No more bending over to strap in for me.
