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 surf skating and has refined it with every generation since. We are one of the largest Carver retailers in Australia, with free shipping on orders over $90.
Frequently Asked Questions
Carver pioneered surf skate truck technology in 1996, creating systems that closely replicate surfing movements on pavement. Their CX and C7 trucks continue to influence surf skate design worldwide.
