Carver x GRLSWIRL Longswirl CX Surfskate Complete | 38"
Carver x GRLSWIRL Longswirl in CX Raw. 38" x 9.75" 7-ply maple rounded pintail, 22" wheelbase, 6.5" CX front truck / 6.5" C2 rear truck, 70mm 78a Roundhouse Smoke Mag wheels, Carver ABEC 7 built-in bearings. The closest thing to longboard surfing you'll find on pavement.
The Longswirl is GRLSWIRL's longboard-length surfskate — a 38" rounded pintail designed for riders who want to slow it all the way down, spread their feet out, walk to the nose, cross-step, or just settle into the kind of long, flowing carve that makes you forget there's no wave underneath you. It's the largest board in the GRLSWIRL x Carver range and the most deliberate one — built for movement, creativity, and cruising with intention rather than performance output. The slightly narrower 9.75" width keeps the board lighter and easier to manoeuvre than you'd expect from a deck this length, and the sugarcoat grip with floral top artwork makes this a board that looks as good standing still as it does mid-carve.
At a 22" wheelbase, the Longswirl delivers a drawn-out, sweeping carve that rewards patience and weight shift over snap and aggression. The CX front truck is Carver's patented hybrid reverse kingpin with a precision pivot pin — on a longboard shape like this, the CX produces fluid, surf-style rail engagement that flows naturally with the rounded pintail outline rather than fighting it. The 70mm 78a Smoke Mag wheels are Carver's larger, grippier longboard wheel spec — more ground contact, softer urethane, and the kind of smooth, planted roll that carries your speed through long, sweeping arcs without breaking traction. This is the board for riders who surf a mid-length or longboard and want something on land that genuinely reflects that experience.
GRLSWIRL started as a small crew of women with a direct, unwavering mission: empower people through skateboarding. What began as a grassroots community has grown into a global movement — hundreds of thousands of online members, active chapters in NYC and San Diego, and a culture that actively works to prove that skateboarding is for everyone regardless of background, experience, or identity. The Longswirl is an expression of that mission in its most flowing, inclusive form — a board that says you don't need to rip to ride, you just need to want to move. Carver invented the surfskate in 1996 and has been the technical benchmark for the category ever since. Two brands built on the belief that more people on boards makes the world better.
Why Ride the Carver x GRLSWIRL Longswirl CX?
-
38" Rounded Pintail — Longboard Cross-Stepper
A classic rounded pintail shape at longboard length — room to walk the nose, cross-step, hang five, or just settle into a long, flowing carve; a shape designed for movement and creativity over performance output. -
22" Wheelbase — Drawn-Out Sweeping Carve
The longest wheelbase in the GRLSWIRL x Carver range; delivers slow, flowing, drawn-out rail engagement that rewards patience and weight shift — the feel of a longboard surfboard translated directly to pavement. -
6.5" CX Patented Front Truck
Carver's hybrid reverse kingpin with a precision pivot pin; on a longboard shape this produces fluid, surf-style carving that flows with the rounded pintail outline — responsive enough to engage but composed enough to stay smooth through long arcs. -
Narrower 9.75" Width — Lighter and More Manoeuvrable
Slightly narrower than expected for a 38" board; keeps the Longswirl lighter and easier to turn than a full-width longboard without sacrificing the foot space needed for cross-stepping and nose-walking. -
70mm 78a Roundhouse Smoke Mag Wheels
Carver's larger, softer longboard wheel spec; more ground contact, grippy urethane, and smooth planted roll that carries speed through sweeping carves without breaking traction — the right wheel for a board built for flow over snap. -
7-Ply Maple Construction
Stiff, light, and responsive; the right foundation for a longboard surfskate that needs to transmit weight shifts and edge changes cleanly through the CX truck without dampening the rider's input. -
Sugarcoat Grip with Floral Top Artwork
Clear sugarcoat grip applied over the top artwork lets the GRLSWIRL floral graphics show through while maintaining full traction; the board looks as intentional from the top as it does from the bottom. -
Carver ABEC 7 Built-In Bearings
Precision bearings integrated into the wheel design; always correctly mated, fast from day one, and built for the long, relaxed sessions this board is designed for. -
Lifetime Warranty
Every Carver product carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects — built to last, backed unconditionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a surfskate and a cruiser skateboard?
A: A surfskate is built specifically to replicate the feel and movement of surfing on pavement — the patented front truck system allows for deep, front-foot-driven carves and the ability to generate speed through pumping, just like on a surfboard. A cruiser is designed for comfortable everyday riding — commuting, carving at a more relaxed pace, and navigating urban terrain. A surfskate demands more active engagement and rewards surf-specific technique; a cruiser is more forgiving and accessible from day one. If you surf and want something to train on or stay sharp between sessions, a surfskate is the right call. If you just want a smooth, fun board to get around on, a cruiser will serve you better. Not sure which direction to go? Call us on 03 9421 2293 and we'll help you figure it out.
Q: What size surfskate should I choose?
A: Shorter surfskates deliver tighter, sharper turns — better for technical carving, quick direction changes, and replicating the feel of a shorter board in the surf. Longer surfskates offer more flow and a drawn-out, rail-to-rail feel that suits bigger, more sweeping turns and riders who want a smoother, more relaxed carving experience. As a general guide, if you ride a shorter board in the surf or want maximum responsiveness, go shorter. If you ride a mid-length or longboard or want more glide and flow underfoot, go longer. Give us a call on 03 9421 2293 and we'll match you to the right setup based on how you surf and what you're trying to get out of it.
