Description
The 29.5” Swallow has been one of our favourite boards for years and a staple in the Carver quiver. This little board handles like it’s namesake, fast and loose. The combination of short and wide is magic, because the shorter wheelbase makes pumping this board on the flats just effortless, but the extra width and concave makes it a comfortable cruiser, too.
The kick tail completes the versatility, giving you some needed pop for kick turns and crack-in-the-road hopping, explaining why it’s been one of the longest running designs in the Carver line.
We’ve updated the graphic with one of surf-artist Ryan Kleiner’s hand painted waves, evoking exactly the feeling of looking through the eye of the tube.
This board will work equally well with either the C7 or CX truck sets; the C7 set will give the board a more flowing performance with a great range of adjustability, the CX set will give the board a more snappy performance with a lighter frame.
This is the CX complete: deck, trucks, wheels and bearings fully assembled and ready to ride out of the box.

CX trucks explained
CX trucks — Carver's hybrid surf/skate truck. A lightweight reverse-kingpin design with Carver's patented geometry, so it still pumps and carves like a surfskate, but feels tighter and more stable at speed, landing airs and riding fakie. Expect snappier rail-to-rail response — a great choice if you also like parks, bowls and faster riding.

About Carver
Carver was born in Venice Beach, California in 1996, when surfers Neil Carver and Greg Falk got tired of waiting for waves and built a skateboard truck that could carve, pump and snap like a surfboard. Thirty years on, Carver surfskates are ridden by surfers of every level around the world to keep their surfing sharp on flat days.
