Every season, Carver introduces new innovative deck models with original templates and moulds. However, this time, we aimed to push the boundaries further, recognising the limitations of wood deck construction, including restricted compound-curve potential.
With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Carver set their sights on creating the quintessential deck, featuring concave, nose and tail kick– a skateboard that even JPL or Nasa might produce. Choosing Nylon 6, a material crafted from recycled fishing nets, was pivotal due to its specific structural properties, high mechanical strength, lightweight nature and mechanical dampening qualities, allowing it to flex and feel organic like wood. No ordinary plastic possesses these critical characteristics.
Carver’s mission is clear – to offer riders the best surfskate deck available, providing an opportunity to save the planet and ensuring that your lines are cleaner than ever.

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!
