Now you can truly surf the streets with these unique Carver Surf Skateboards… These are not your average skateboards!
Carver Surf Skateboards are cruiser style skateboards with patented truck geometry that allows you to ‘pump’ and create forward thrust with deep rail to rail carves, this gives you turns that feel remarkably similar to how a surfboard performs! If you Surf you will love the way these skateboards ride!
Bing Copeland began surfing at the Manhattan Beach pier in 1949 at age 13, and by the fall of 1959 he had opened his first surf shop with his friend Rick Stoner. Bing Surfboards quickly became one of the most influential surfboard manufactures of the sixties and early seventy’s, renowned for its expert craftsmanship. From his magic nose riders for legends like David Nuuhiwa, to his work with the Campbell Brothers and the introduction of the Bonzer, one of the most unique and enduring designs of the 60’s, his influence on surfing is profound. Bing Surfboards has gone through many changes throughout the years, but it has always remained true to the roots of surfing. Under the expert guidance of master shaper Matt Calvani, Bing Surfboards continues to refine classic nose riding boards and create innovative modern surf craft. Their logo remains one of the most iconic and recognizable in all of surfing, and Carver is proud to collaborate with such an icon.

CARVER C7 TRUCK
The C7 dual-axis truck set is very fluid, like riding a single fin surfboard and replicating the lateral sway you feel as you pump for speed. The dual-axis movement allows the rider to adjust both these independently for fine-tuning. The C7 is a bit heavier than the CX truck, but the internal spring system allows for a wider range of adjustments. The trailing arm and wide adjustment range make this truck better for fluid surfing.
CARVER CX TRUCK
The CX truck is a single axis truck with a precision pivot pin which allows for very snappy turns, like riding a thruster surfboard and replicating the quick response you feel as you pump for speed. The single-axis permits one axis of adjustment before a different shape or hardness of bushing is needed. It’s the same weight as a standard truck, but the simpler, lighter truck design is better for airs, skate parks and transition.
This skateboard can be equipped with CX or C7 truck. You can choose according to your wishes.
When it comes to choosing the right Carver for you, the one aspect to know is that the smaller the board the tighter turns it will make it—similarly to a surfboard. On the other hand, the longer the board the more stable it will be. If you are a shortboarder looking to practice sharp turns, cutbacks, snaps and slides, you will be looking at some of the shorter boards. If you are a beginner or intermediate rider looking for stability to cruise around town and practice carving and progressing into more advanced maneuvers, a longer board may be a better option for you. Always keeping in mind that your wheelbase should be proportional to your surfskate stance—more on that later.
