For our Spring 2025 Artist Series boards, we chose to collaborate with Adam Nienow, whose hand-crafted illustrations perfectly capturethe essence of surfskating. His focus on simplicity and attention to detail aligns seamlessly with Carver’s visual style, creating a powerfulconnection between art and motion. Adam, a surfer and skater himself, brings his personal experience to the designs, infusing them withauthentic energy and passion. The bold colors and embellished details celebrate the vibrant spirit of our community, making each boarda piece of art in motion.

CX TRUCKS

This is Carvers hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand its a lightweight standard RKP (Reverse King Pin) hanger and base, on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from the system. This means that you can pump this truck likea C7, but it lands airs and rides fakie with more stability as well. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.
