ALVA CHAMPAGNE PINK CRUISERS! Some cruiser wheels are made simply to get you from A to B. The Alva Cruiser Wheels in Champagne make the whole trip feel like skating. They have that unmistakable Alva attitude: surf-influenced, fast underfoot, built to carve and far too good-looking to hide on a boring setup.
At 60mm, these wheels hit a killer all-around cruiser size. They are big enough to roll confidently over cracks, sidewalk joints and rougher city pavement, but still compact enough to keep your board feeling quick, nimble and easy to throw around. The full 44mm width gives them a solid footprint through carves, while the 83A durometer takes the harsh edge off the road without turning the ride into mush. You get comfort and grip while still being able to feel the board working beneath your feet.
Alva Skates has been producing high-performance skateboards in California since 1977, led by legendary Z-Boy Tony Alva.
Tony’s aggressive, surf-driven approach helped skateboarding break away from stiff competition riding and explode into pools, banks and transition. That spirit still runs through the brand: skate equipment meant to be carved, slashed and ridden with personality.
CalStreets and Alva go way back to the 80s, and we are seriously stoked to have these wheels rolling through Canada. Build them onto a classic single-kick, a daily city cruiser, a compact pool board or any custom setup that deserves genuine Alva flavour. They look beautiful standing still, but make no mistake—these wheels are made to roll.
Born in 1957 in Santa Monica, California, Tony was an original member of the Z-Boys skate/surf team when it was formed in the mid 1970's.Tony is considered by many to be one of the most important skaters of all time. Tony's intense surf style approach to skating ignited a flame that became the blazing fire that is modern skateboarding. Tony was one of the original backyard barge and charge pool skaters, and was the first person to ever be recorded doing a frontside air.
