The Carver CX truck is a single-axis truck equipped with a precision pivot pin, enabling incredibly responsive turns reminiscent of riding a thruster surfboard. This design faithfully replicates the rapid and agile sensation you experience when pumping for speed. With its single- axis configuration, you have the flexibility to make adjustments along one axis before considering a change in bushing shape or hardness. Despite being the same weight as a standard truck, its streamlined and lighter design makes it particularly well-suited for executing tricks in skate parks and transitioning between different skateboarding elements.
The Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set sounds like an absolute game-changer for those who love to carve and pump on their surfskates. The patented geometry that maximizes turn and pump while maintaining stability for airs and fakie riding is a brilliant innovation. It’s exciting to see how this design aligns with the evolving aerial maneuvers in the world of surfing.
The lightweight and hollow axles and kingpins are a nice touch, making these trucks not only high-performing but also durable. The combination of CX.4 and C2.4 trucks, along with the specific bushing setups, should provide a great balance for a variety of riding styles.

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.
