The Rad Ripper skateboard embodies a vibrant homage to the 1980s era, exuding retro charm with its rainbow rails, tail wings, and classic logos. Its design is crafted for a smooth sidewalk glide, boasting an extra-wide deck that ensures stability and comfort during rides. With a longer wheelbase, this skateboard stretches out your stance, facilitating a fast and exhilarating pumping ride.
A defining feature of all …Lost boards is the exclusive “Progressive Rocker” concave, drawing inspiration from surfboard construction techniques. This concave design enhances the skateboard’s responsiveness, enabling a performance-oriented pumping action reminiscent of riding waves, thus adding a dynamic dimension to your skating experience.
Equipped with C7 trucks in a raw color finish, the Rad Ripper ensures durability and precise control over your maneuvers. The 68mm Mag Smoke wheels, featuring a 78A hardness rating, strike a balance between grip and slide, offering versatility across various surfaces. Integrated built-in bearings guarantee smooth rolling and require minimal maintenance, enhancing the overall efficiency of your ride.
Measuring 31 1/8 inches in length and 10 1/2 inches in width, the deck provides ample space for comfortable foot placement, optimizing balance and control. The 17 1/4-inch wheelbase further contributes to stability and speed, allowing for confident and fluid skating.
Enhancing both function and style, the deck comes adorned with Lost Stringer grip tape, offering reliable traction while adding visual flair. The hardware, constructed from stainless steel, ensures corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, reinforcing the board’s durability.
Rooted in the pioneering legacy of Lost Surfboards, co-founded by Matt “Mayhem” Biolos and a group of school friends in 1985, the Rad Ripper skateboard pays homage to the brand’s innovative spirit and enduring influence on the surfing world. With its fusion of retro aesthetics and modern performance features, this skateboard promises an exhilarating and unforgettable ride for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

CARVER C7 TRUCK:
The Carver C7 Truck is Carver’s Patented front truck which is designed to create the same fluid dynamic for a skateboard that a surfboard has in the water. What gives it this ability, is the extra axis of movement provided by the truck’s rotating arm. As a result, this gives the nose of the board lateral thrust, in addition to the usual rail-to rail turn.
The C7 dual-axis truck set is very fluid, like riding a single fin surfboard and replicating the lateral sway you feel as you pump for speed. The dual axis allows the rider to adjust both axis independently for fine tuning. It’s a bit heavier than the CX truck, but the internal spring system allows for a wide range of adjustment. The trailing arm and wide adjustment range make this truck better for faster speeds and fluid surfing.The arm rotates smoothly on precision industrial thrust bearings, and is dampened by a fully adjustable, heavy-duty internal die spring. This allows each rider to customize the feel of their board. But at its core, the C7 is still a skateboard truck, with a traditional hanger and standard new-school mounting hole pattern ( 2.1”, or 2 3/32” long).
