Your endeavor into the world of surfskating is truly inspiring. As you revisited the classic sidewalk surfers of the 1960s, the vision of barefoot groms gracefully carving down smooth hills with style sparked a wave of creativity. Captivated by the nostalgia and elegance of that era, you embarked on a journey to recreate that sensation for your community. Cutting down the C5s to 4 inches and trimming a street deck to match was just the beginning.
In your in-house machine shop, with a team of skilled individuals, you brought this vision to life. Despite the tight timeline with summer looming, your determination prevailed. The result? A limited batch of hand-made mini boards, each crafted with care and precision.
The heart of these mini boards lies in their design. The narrowed C5 trucks, paired with the 65mm Roundhouse wheels in Green Glo 83A, promise a ride that’s not only fun but also reminiscent of the golden era of surfskating. The choice of soft wheels ensures a cushy and grippy experience.
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of these mini boards. From the raw truck color option to the Park Print Logo grip tape, each element adds to the overall aesthetic and functionality. The use of black manganese hardware further enhances the visual appeal while ensuring durability and reliability.
With a length of 29 inches, a width of 7.75 inches, and a wheelbase of 15.5 inches, these mini boards are designed to provide stability and control, allowing riders to carve and maneuver with confidence.

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.
