The Black Tip is built for riders who are hard on their gear. It combines Carver's deeply contoured nose and steep tail profile with a reinforced construction layer that improves durability and extends the board's lifespan without dulling the ride. The Dura-Fusion laminate is a high-density thermoplastic fused directly into the deck bottom — it improves rebound response while protecting against wear and impact.

Embossed tail channels support rear-foot control, contoured rails add grip through turns, and the coarse deck pad keeps traction where it counts. At 32.5" with a balanced wheelbase, it offers a capable mix of stability, forward momentum, and manoeuvrability.

Deck only — trucks, wheels, bearings and hardware are not included. Pair it with Carver C7 or CX trucks to build your own setup, or choose the complete version if you want it ready to ride.

Specifications

C7 or CX?

C7 surf trucks — the truck that started surfskating. The patented swing-arm front truck adds a second pivot, so you can draw out long, smooth carves, snap turns off the tail and pump for speed without pushing, just like working a surfboard down the line. It's the most surf-like feel Carver make and the go-to for surf training on land.

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.
