They wanted a board that felt like surfing on land, so they built the C7: a front truck on a pivoting swing arm that lets the board pump and carve like a surfboard on a wave. That truck started the surfskate category, and Carver calls it the original surfskate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 2005 Carver added the CX, a lighter, snappier reverse-kingpin truck that became its most popular system. Three decades on, Carver still designs out of Culver City, California, and works with surf names like Channel Islands, ...Lost, Kai Lenny and Yago Dora. Surfers around the world use Carvers to train between sessions, and plenty of skaters ride them simply because carving a Carver is that much fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a surfskate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA surfskate is a skateboard with a special front truck that pivots and turns much further than a normal truck. That lets you pump the board (generate speed by twisting your body, like on a wave) and carve tight, surf-style turns without pushing. Surfers use them to train turns and timing on land, and skaters ride them for the flow. Carver's C7, released in 1996, is widely regarded as the original surfskate truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 32\" surfskate the right size for me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 32\" this is a mid-size surfskate and the sweet spot for most adult riders. It has room for a natural stance and a little more stability than a compact board, while still turning tight enough for pumping, pocket turns and the skatepark. If you want the quickest, tightest turns go 29\"–30\"; for long, drawn-out carves look at 33\" and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good surfskate for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, it can be. The C7 has a smoother, flowier surf feel and is still beginner-friendly, but if stability is your priority the CX version is the more stable, predictable pick for a first surfskate. Start on flat, smooth ground, get comfortable carving, then start pumping. Most riders find their rhythm within a session or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between Carver CX, C7 and C5 trucks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCX is Carver's most popular truck: a reverse-kingpin design that's lighter, snappier and more stable at speed, so it's the best all-rounder and the one we recommend for most riders and for skateparks. C7 is the original 1996 swing-arm truck, with a smoother, longer, more flowing surf feel; riders chasing a pure surf-training feel often prefer it. C5 is compact and lower, with an 8.5\" axle, made for smaller boards, kids and lighter riders. CX and C7 completes run a C2 rear truck, and C5 completes run a C4 rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cruise or commute on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, for short trips around the neighbourhood, to the beach or the shops. Once you can pump you'll cover flat ground with very little pushing. Surfskates are built for carving, so they feel looser than a cruiser at speed; for long, flat commutes a longboard or cruiser is more efficient. The soft 78a wheels soak up rough footpaths and cracks nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come ready to ride?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. It arrives fully assembled with griptape, Carver trucks, wheels and ABEC 7 bearings installed. Just check the bushings feel right for your weight and go surf the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Twelve Board Store\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Expert skate advice from real riders, 7 days a week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Easy returns for a hassle-free experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Huge range of skate, snow \u0026amp; electric gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Proudly Australian owned \u0026amp; operated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurf the street.
