The Carver Emerald Peak CX complete is a shortboard revolution truly heated up with the intro of the swallow-tail, increasing maneuverability & opening up new lines on the wave, like with this little gem thats quick with cutbacks and fast down the line. The 1970’s was on fire with innovation, setting the tone for what surfing would become for decades.
Somewhere along the way Carver settled on the competition thruster as our main board, but as we explore new sensations and mine the past for forgotten gems, we’re dusting off those experimental boards and rediscovering lines we’d all but forgotten about.
It was an era when custom airbrushing made each board a unique work of art, a one-of-a-kind hot rod for the ocean. With this series we’re introducing a ‘clear’ sugar coat grip that showcases airbrushed top art for a full color experience under your soles.
CARVER CX TRUCK:
The CX Truck is Carver’s hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand it’s a lightweight standard RKP (Reverse King Pin) hanger and base, and on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from its simple design.
With the patented design, CX pumps like a C7, but the CX lands airs and rides fakie with more stability in comparison. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing. This original Carver design is quickly becoming the most popular surfskate truck in the world.
The CX truck is a single-axis truck with a precision pivot pin which allows for very snappy turns, like riding a thruster surfboard, and replicating the quick response you feel as you pump for speed. The single axis permits one axis of adjustment before a different shape or hardness of bushing is needed. It’s the same weight as a standard truck, but the simpler, lighter truck design is better for airs, skate parks and transition.
The CX trucks are ideal for progressive airs, reverses, and those who prefer a snappy turn.
