ABOUT THE C7 TRUCK

The Carver C7 Truck is our Patented front truck designed to create the same fluid dynamic for a skateboard that a surfboard has in the water. What gives it this ability is the extra axis of movement provided by the truck's rotating arm, giving the nose of the board lateral thrust, in addition to the usual rail-to rail turn. With this extra turning capacity, the back truck becomes a pivot from which to snap turns, the way fins hold in the water while the surfboard's rocker slides on the surface of a wave. This dynamic also creates the much sought after ability to pump the board for speed, and is the feature unique to Carver that finally delivers on the long-promised feel of surfing a skateboard. Riding fakie is also like riding a surfboard, but backwards, where the nose feels squirrelly, and for this reason the C7 is a front truck only. The arm rotates smoothly on precision industrial thrust bearings, and is dampened by a fully adjustable, heavy-duty internal die spring that allows each rider to customize the feel of their board. But at its core, the C7 is still a skateboard truck, with a traditional hanger and standard mounting hole pattern that will fit any skateboard deck, while preserving the original wheelbase.

This little board handles like its namesake, fast and loose. The short wheelbase makes this mini the easiest board to pump, effortlessly carving non-stop lines without ever putting your foot down. The snappy handling and perpetual motion turns your driveway and curb cut into a micro-skatepark.

High performance downhill, or cross-step and noseriding plank, this is the most versatile longboard you'll ride. Combining an old-school look with the latest in carving technology, you can carve down the steepest hills with stability, or carve through the urban maze with ease as you surf your way to the market. Multiple wheelbase options front and back really lets you dial it in, like having a finbox for your trucks.

This model is a classic funboard, long enough to cruise with ease but short enough to carve and pump the smaller sections. The longer wheelbase creates the stability necessary to carve down steep neighborhood hills and comfortable enough to glide to the corner store. The traditional tail kick upgrades this surfy cruiser into a real performance board for when you need to plant your foot over the fins and take control.
