The Carver CX Raw 31″ Grlswirl Sunflower Surfskate Complete is Val LaForge’s signature model, built to capture the same joy, confidence, and effortless style she brings to every session. Created in collaboration with Grlswirl, this board reflects Val’s deep connection to skateboarding, from flowing carves to powerful bowl lines, all wrapped in a shape designed to suit her riding perfectly. Featuring artwork by Naomi Marika, the Sunflower stands out with bright energy and a look that feels just as vibrant as Val’s approach to skating.
At 31 inches long and 10 inches wide with a 16.125″ wheelbase, the Sunflower uses an 80s-inspired side-cut shape paired with a new double kick mold, giving it a versatile feel that is ready for the skate park, pump track, and endless carving sessions. The Carver CX Raw truck setup delivers a lively, responsive ride with a snappy surfskate feel that still holds strong when you want to push harder through transitions and tighter lines.
Finished with 65mm 83A white slick wheels, built-in bearings, custom sunflower grip, and stainless steel hardware, this complete comes ready to roll with style and performance straight out of the box. The Sunflower is a feel-good surfskate with a functional shape, smooth flow, and plenty of control, made for riders who want to carve with confidence and bring a little extra sunshine to every ride.
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.
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.
CARVER ROUNDHOUSE SLICK WHEELS:
The 65mm Slick wheels are designed for riders who want smooth speed, crisp response, and controlled slide release in every turn. Their slightly rounded lip reduces the contact patch, helping the wheels break free with a more predictable feel when releasing the tail. Poured in 83A urethane, they offer a firmer, responsive ride with a clean breakaway point for sharper frontside snaps, quicker backside slashes, and lively carving that brings extra precision, flow, and confidence to every session on streets and banks.

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.
