Carver Blue Haze 31 Surfskate Complete – CX Trucks

The 1970s was on fire for innovation, setting the tone for what surfing would become for decades. Somewhere along the way surfers settled on the competition thruster for their main board, but as they now explore new sensations and mine the past for forgotten gems, they’re dusting off those experimental boards and rediscovering lines they’d all but forgotten about.

It was also an era when custom airbrushing made each board a unique work of art, a one-of-a-kind hot rod for the ocean. With this series the Carver Team are introducing a clear sugarcoat grip, showcasing airbrushed art for a full colour experience under your feet.

The rounded pin is the grandpappy of all shapes and the 70’s had its own take, such as the wider template towards the nose providing more front foot area for pushing and trimming in that retro, laid back style.

What’s the difference between the C7 and the CX?

The C7 is Carver’s signature surfskate front truck. It has an incredible amount of pump and turning radius, with a spring loaded swing arm that allows the nose of the board to sway slightly from side to side, with slightly wider and more stable turns than a CX truck. Basically, it feels more like a twin fin to ride, but has an adjustable spring you can tension or loosen to vary your ride.

The CX is Carver’s reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck. This truck has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any extra parts. It has a similar feel to the C7, allowing you to snap your turns from the tail and pump effortlessly for speed. It is more responsive than a C7 truck, with a lot more play in the tail, similar to a quad fin!
