Carver Triton Surf Skate Complete Board Prismal CX 32.0 Inches (White)

Product Information

Short and snappy Carver boards with tight turning CX setups are great for rad surf maneuvers, but not always so good for cruising and pushing. The 29.5″ Carver Swallow is an easy to pump and very stable board for cruising due to its special shape combination. However, you might appreciate the looser, smoother feel; deeper rail-to-rail lean, and more upper body responsiveness that the C7 offers. In this Carver surfskates buyer’s guide, I’ll save you some time, money, and hassle by helping you hone in on the right Carver surfskates for you.

Compared to the CX, the C7 feels softer, looser, and more fluid. The swivel arm gives you a wider range of motion, and more rail-to-rail lean. The CX feels tighter, snappier, and more stable. Since I’m not a surfer, I’m obviously not qualified to recommend which are best for surf training. However, I can describe the measurable properties of each to help you make a more informed decision.

What is a Surfskate?

When you pump, they create more lateral side-to-side motion, versus generating forward momentum. So they’re easier to pump, but they don’t pull you forward as much when you pump. Create more lateral side-to-side motion with pumping, as opposed to forward momentum. While they are easier to pump, they don’t pull you forward as much when you pump.

Surfskates have been taking the surf world by storm. Marketed as a way to get your flow on during the flat days, improve your surfing with similar-movement repetition and training, or just have fun cruising around the neighborhood, I’ve been riding surfskates for the past few years for all of the above reasons, and would strongly recommend them to any surfer. I would also (more gently) recommend them to any non-surfer for how much sheer fun they can be. I always have a surfskate in my car for when I find myself with a few minutes and an open parking lot, or (as is often the case in San Francisco) when I’m forced to park far away and walk to my destination. My favorite use for them is in downhill runs. Instead of a bombing straightline, a surfskate lets you take a much more controlled descent full of deep, powerful carves and tail slides. Your personal taste: for a given size and type of setup, your preferences in terms of shape and graphic design will guide your final choice of the best Carver skateboard for you. After riding all these surfskate systems, I’ve come to look at them on a scale ranging from pure surf trainers to pure street cruisers. Obviously, no one can definitely answer this question because there is so much personal preference involved. To know the Carver Skateboards history you must transport yourself to Venice Beach, California. Carvers creators Greg Falk and Neil Carver designed the first carver skate in 1995. Fans of traditional skateboarding, they were looking to create a skateboard capable of simulating the sensations one has over a surfboard. After lots of trials, tests, prototypes and a lot of dedication they were able to create the first surfskate with the C1 axis.Everything about Triton is pure surf, from the classic Fish and Thruster shapes to the full white-dipped tops. The transparent colour overlay graphics continue our tradition of usingsurfboard glassing styles adapted to print, incorporating a sophisticated palette that elevates their elegant simplicity. Excellent Quality: Of all the surfskate brands I’ve tried, I would put Carver skateboards at the top of the list in terms of overall quality. Shape: the aspect ratio and shape design of your Carver board is important not just for aesthetics, it impacts how the board leans, carves, and pumps. Concave is also important for technical riding.
