Carver Swallow 29.5 Surfskate 2022 Complete – CX Trucks

NEW 2022 CARVER SWALLOW 29.5 SURFSKATE COMPLETE WITH CX TRUCKS

The Carver Swallow 29.5 Surfskate Complete has been one of our favourite boards for years and a staple in the Carver quiver. This little board handles like it’s namesake, fast and loose.

The combination of short and wide is magic, because the shorter wheelbase makes pumping this board on the flats just effortless, but the extra width and concave makes it a comfortable cruiser, too. The kick tail completes the versatility, giving you some needed pop for kick turns and crack-in-the-road hopping, explaining why it’s been one of the longest running designs in the Carver line.

This board will work equally well with either the C7 or CX truck sets; the C7 truck will give the board a more flowing performance with a great range of adjustability, while the CX trucks will give the board a more snappy performance with a lighter frame.

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. It 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!
