The Jalopi Tugboat Surfskate is a one-of-a-kind land cruiser that blends nautical nostalgia with high-performance surf carving. Built on the Antihero Jalopi Tugboat deck, this setup measures 9.2″ wide by 31.6″ long, with a 14.5″ wheelbase that delivers a compact yet stable stance. The classic Tugboat shape gives plenty of width underfoot for confident carves while still keeping the board agile enough to slash, snap, and flow through tight spaces. With its maritime-themed graphic featuring ropes, a tugboat, and a smiling sun hoisting a frosty pint, it’s a deck that radiates both humour and heritage — a playful throwback to old-school skate graphics with a seafaring twist.
Underneath, raw Carver CX trucks bring this board to life, transforming every push into a pump. The CX’s responsive pivot and spring-like snap mimic the feeling of surfing open waves, making it perfect for pumping around the city or carving deep lines on gentle hills. Paired with 70mm 78A Roundhouse wheels, the ride feels buttery smooth across pavement cracks and asphalt swells, gripping through turns with surf-style flow. Together, this setup captures the soul of surfskating — fast, loose, and endlessly creative. Whether you’re chasing that endless summer down Kitsilano’s seawall or carving through downtown Vancouver’s curves, the Jalopi Tugboat Surfskate feels right at home on both deck and dock.

Carver Skateboards revolutionized the surfskate industry with their innovative truck designs, bringing the fluid motion of surfing to pavement. Founded in the 1990s by Greg Falk and Neil Carver, the brand was born from a desire to create a skateboard that could replicate the carving and pumping dynamics of surfing. Their signature truck systems, the CX (a hybrid of surfskate and traditional skate trucks) and the C7 (a fluid, spring-loaded surf trainer), set them apart, making Carver a go-to choice for surfers, skaters, and landlocked riders worldwide. Carver's lineup includes pro models from surfing legends like Taylor Knox and Yago Dora, as well as collabs with surf brands like Lost and Channel Islands. Their commitment to quality, durability, and authentic surf feel has kept them at the forefront of the surfskate movement.
