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.

This is the C5 complete: deck, trucks, wheels and bearings fully assembled and ready to ride out of the box.

Specifications

C5 trucks explained

C5 trucks — the C5 system (C5 front, C4 rear) is shorter and narrower, lowering your centre of gravity and giving the tail more pop for ollies, while keeping that easy surf-style pump. Light and manoeuvrable, it suits smaller riders and anyone mixing tricks with flow.

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.
