About Carver Skateboards

Carver Skateboards was founded in 1996 in Venice, California, by surfers Neil Stratton and Greg Falk. 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.

Around 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.

FAQs

What is a surfskate?
A 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.

Is a 29" surfskate the right size for me?
At 29" this sits at the compact end of an adult surfskate. It turns quick and tight with enough deck for a comfortable stance, which makes it a great all-rounder for pumping, carving and the skatepark. Taller riders, or anyone wanting a little more stability, often go 31"–32.5". Kids and very light riders may prefer a 28" or shorter.

Is this a good surfskate for beginners?
Yes. The CX is Carver's most stable and predictable surfskate truck, which is why we recommend it for most first-time surfskaters. Start on flat, smooth ground, get comfortable carving, then start pumping. It feels loose at first, but most riders find their rhythm within a session or two.

What's the difference between Carver CX, C7 and C5 trucks?
CX 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.

Can I cruise or commute on it?
Yes, 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 big Mag wheels roll smoothly over rough footpaths and cracks.

Does it come ready to ride?
Yes. 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.
