Carver Surf Skates

Carver Surfskates are the original surf skate and still the benchmark the rest of the category is measured against. Founded in Venice Beach in 1996 by surfers who wanted to replicate the feel of surfing on concrete, Carver built the truck system that defined what surf skating is — and continues to refine it with every generation of the range.

Two truck systems. One clear choice once you know what you are after.

Carver CX Trucks

The CX is a compression carve system. The front truck uses a patented pivot mechanism that compresses into the turn, generating a tight, responsive carve feel with natural rebound. On the CX you pump and carve in a fluid, continuous motion — the board flows from rail to rail the way a surfboard does on a wave face. The right starting point for most riders.

Carver C7 Trucks

The C7 is a spring-loaded front truck with a wide pivot range. Loose, powerful, generates more speed from the pump. Enables more radical direction changes. Takes more time to master but rewards the investment. Start with the CX first — the C7 makes more sense once you have the pump technique dialled.
