The Carver CI Black Beauty Complete is as beautiful as it is functional and provides a fluid dynamic feel for a skateboard that a surfboard has in the water.
Carver’s collab surf-skate model with Channel Islands, the Pod Mod, is meant to be ridden wider and shorter, so Carver went with these characteristics and kept it on the shorter side, while giving it a bit fuller template for increased control rail-to-rail.
Carver manufactures some of the highest quality boards. All made of these beautifully constructed decks are made in America. This complete looks like it’s straight out of the future. Travel through time on your brand new Carver!
CARVER C7 TRUCK:
The Carver C7 Truck is Carver’s Patented front truck which is designed to create the same fluid dynamic for a skateboard that a surfboard has in the water.What gives it this ability, is the extra axis of movement provided by the truck’s rotating arm. As a result, this gives the nose of the board lateral thrust, in addition to the usual rail-to rail turn.
The C7 dual-axis truck set is very fluid, like riding a single fin surfboard and replicating the lateral sway you feel as you pump for speed. The dual axis allows the rider to adjust both axis independently for fine tuning. It’s a bit heavier than the CX truck, but the internal spring system allows for a wide range of adjustment. The trailing arm and wide adjustment range make this truck better for faster speeds and fluid surfing.
The arm rotates smoothly on precision industrial thrust bearings, and is dampened by a fully adjustable, heavy-duty internal die spring. This allows each rider to customize the feel of their board. But at its core, the C7 is still a skateboard truck, with a traditional hanger and standard new-school mounting hole pattern ( 2.1”, or 2 3/32” long).
In addition this will fit any new-school skateboard deck, while preserving the original wheelbase. That being said, these are the perfect trucks to accommodate this board, consequently if you are looking for a setup to carve your way through the streets, with the same fluid feel as a surfboard.

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.
