Arbor Black Rose Surfskate C7 | 30.75"

Arbor Black Rose Surfskate C7 | 30.75"

The fish shape. The asphalt wave.

The Arbor Black Rose Surfskate is a collaboration between Arbor and Black Rose MFG — the surf brand born from the partnership between world-class longboard surfer Justin Quintal and legendary shaper Ricky Carroll. The deck is directly based on the Sheepshead, Black Rose's traditional keel twin-fin fish surfboard, adapted for the street with key features that keep it fully functional while honouring the original aesthetic.

The result is a wide, lively 30.75" fish shape paired with the Carver C7 truck system — the front truck pivot mechanism that generates real surf-style thrust and allows you to pump for speed without pushing. Wide 65mm 78A wheels with sharp lips let you drive hard down the line and slash through turns the way you would on a twin fin in glassy surf. The board even comes with Arbor's Recycled Glass Re-Grit grip tape, made from reclaimed glass for a tactile, eco-conscious top sheet.

Who Is This For?

The Black Rose is designed for surfers who want to replicate the feel of a twin-fin fish on land — specifically the loose, pivoting, rail-to-rail energy of a keel twin in smaller surf. The C7 system rewards riders who engage their hips and drive through turns rather than just leaning. It's equally at home for skaters who want a surfskate with real pedigree behind the shape, or experienced riders looking to add a flow-oriented fish to their quiver.
