Carver Skateboards - 29" Surfrider - C5 Complete

We are always looking for new sensations in surfskating, and recently our attention was drawn to the narrow sidewalk surfers of the 1960s as we rewatched barefoot groms carving gracefully down smooth hills with style. Inspired, we started cutting down some C5s to 4” to see how it would feel, and we trimmed down a street deck to match.

It surprised us all with how fun it felt to ride, and we desperately wanted to share this feeling with our community. But truck design and tooling takes time and Summer is upon us! So with our in-house machine shop and skilled crew we whipped up a limited batch of these hand-made minis, rolling on soft 65mm Roundhouse wheels for a cushy, grippy ride.

Skateboarders have invented many great tricks since the early days, and a truly modern surfskate needs to incorporate this history of progression. And so the C5 System (C5 front, C4 rear) is shorter and narrower, lowering the center of gravity and giving the tail more pop. You get higher ollies, and better control.

And the narrower hanger and deck keep it light and maneuverable. This is the next generation of surfskate, blending tricks and flow into a complex, creative expression across the urban landscape. We’ve made two completes with an equally versatile street board mold made to give you the best of both worlds.
