Carver’s latest addition to their lineup, the Mini Series, caters specifically to younger and lighter riders who crave the exhilarating Carver experience but in a board tailored to their size. The Snake Bite model, adorned with lively and dynamic graphics, epitomizes this ethos.
It’s engineered with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that the smaller rider gets the same high-performance capabilities as their larger counterparts.
The Snake Bite boasts several notable features designed to enhance the skating experience. One standout aspect is its low-profile C5 truck set, coupled with 84a Medium Carver bushings, which collectively contribute to smoother, more responsive turns. Complementing these are the 60mm/81a durometer Roundhouse wheels, renowned for their reliability and grip on various surfaces.
What sets the Snake Bite apart is its adaptability to the rider’s needs. The board’s lower profile facilitates easier pushing, making it ideal for commuting or cruising around town. Moreover, the incorporation of softer bushings reduces rail resistance, requiring less effort to execute precise turns. This combination of features ensures an intuitive and enjoyable ride, even for those with less experience.
Crafted from 7-ply maple, the Snake Bite prioritizes durability without sacrificing maneuverability. It’s built to withstand the rigors of regular use, providing peace of mind to riders of all ages. Additionally, its compact dimensions make it convenient to store in school lockers or car trunks, ensuring that the waves are never too far away.
In terms of specifications, the Snake Bite comes with a C5 truck set in a raw finish, complemented by 60mm White Mag 81A wheels and built-in bearings. The printed grip tape adds both functionality and style, while stainless steel hardware underscores the board’s quality construction.
With a length of 27″ and a width of 9.18″, the Snake Bite strikes a balance between stability and agility, making it suitable for a wide range of riding styles.
Its 14.5″ wheelbase further enhances control and maneuverability, allowing riders to carve with confidence.
In essence, the Carver Snake Bite Mini Series embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration, offering riders a taste of the waves wherever they roam.
Whether navigating city streets or carving down coastal paths, this surfskate is a reliable companion for riders of all ages and skill levels.

CARVER C5 TRUCK:
Skateboarding’s evolution is a testament to human inventiveness and the relentless pursuit of progression. From its humble beginnings as a pastime for surfers seeking to emulate the feeling of riding waves on land, skateboarding has grown into a vibrant culture of its own, characterized by its rich history of tricks, techniques, and innovative equipment.
The introduction of the C5 Truck System marks a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of surfskate technology. Born from a deep understanding of skateboarding’s history and the desire to push boundaries, this system embodies the spirit of creativity and experimentation that defines the sport.
Crafted from aircraft-grade, industrial recycled A356 aluminum and heat-treated to Rockwell T6 standards, the C5 Truck System is not only durable but also environmentally conscious. Its shorter and narrower design lowers the center of gravity, resulting in enhanced pop and improved control. This allows riders to execute tricks with greater precision and finesse, while still maintaining the fluidity of motion essential for carving and pumping.
The patented geometry of the C5 Truck System, combined with its hollow axles and kingpins, represents a leap forward in surfskate technology. These innovations result in a truck that is not only lightweight and maneuverable but also incredibly strong and versatile. Riders can confidently explore new terrain and push their limits knowing that their equipment can keep up with their ambitions.
More than just a piece of hardware, the C5 Truck System embodies the spirit of skateboarding itself—a constant quest for innovation, self-expression, and pushing boundaries. It represents the next generation of surfskate technology, seamlessly blending the art of tricks with the flow of riding, and inspiring riders to pursue their passion with creativity and determination.

Those riding our boards aren't just skating the streets; they're surfing the urban wave.
