Since 1996, Carver Skateboards has been at the forefront of surfskate innovation, thanks to its groundbreaking CX truck design that replicates the sensation of surfing on pavement. The Presence surfskate is a standout option in the world of skateboarding, offering riders a thrilling blend of versatility, performance, and style. One of its defining features is the CX truck, which revolutionizes the skating experience by closely mimicking the fluidity and responsiveness of surfing.
Opting for the raw truck color lends the board a sleek and understated look, emphasizing its focus on function and performance. The choice of 68MM Smoke Mag 78A wheels strikes a delicate balance between grip and slide, making them equally adept at handling smooth pavement and rougher terrain. Wheels come stock with Abec 7 carver bearings for a reliable and smooth roll that will last.
With a length of 30.25″ and a width of 9.875″, the board strikes a balance between stability and maneuverability, catering to riders of all skill levels and riding styles. The 16.5″ wheelbase allows for nimble turns and agile navigation through crowded streets or tight skatepark corners. Its 3.375″ nose and 6.25″ tail are carefully proportioned to facilitate a wide range of tricks and maneuvers.
Adding to its allure is the featured artwork by Ignacio Villanueva, which not only adds a splash of visual flair but also serves as a testament to the board’s status as a true work of art in its own right.

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.
