Carver skateboards gives the illusion that they are surfing the streets instead of the waves. Australian surf company Mesurf has done a successful job in showcasing the new board and showing how well it performs.
As the name suggests, the Carver C7 Skateboard is designed for exactly that: carving. Instead of just cruising the streets, the Carver Skateboard gives a little more flair with its smaller, harder wheels and unique truck system. These features give a similar feeling to surfing, but restricts skaters to stay on smooth roads and areas that aren’t too hilly.
The Carver C7 Skateboard is truly the link between surf and skate.
