The Santa Cruz X Carver Classic Dot Pig Complete is as beautiful as it is functional and provides a fluid dynamic feel for a skateboard that a surfboard has in the water. Now in Darker Blue.Â
This beautiful collaboration features an extra large custom pig style shape on 7 ply North American maple with 16.25″ wheelbase, Carver CX truckset, and 75mm 78a Santa Cruz branded downhill wheels.
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.
With the patented design, CX pumps like a C7, but the CX lands airs and rides fakie with more stability in comparison. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.Â
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. The single axis permits one axis of adjustment before a different shape or hardness of bushing is needed. It’s the same weight as a standard truck, but the simpler, lighter truck design is better for airs, skate parks and transition. The CX are ideal for progressive airs, reverses, and those who prefer a snappy turn.

Santa Cruz Skateboards, in collaboration with Carver, is proud to present an all new line up of the best surf skate cruisers featuring Santa Cruz high quality 7 ply North American Maple decks, branded OJ or Slime Balls wheels, and Carver surfskate trucks all custom designed and tuned by Santa Cruz. Surfskates will help you learn how to pump, improve your surfing and are extremely fun to ride!
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.
In Canada, BoarderLabs / CalStreets is a premier Carver dealer, bringing these high-performance surfskates to riders across the country. With a strong selection of Carver decks and trucks, BoarderLabs ensures that Canadian skaters can experience the closest thing to surfing on land. Whether you're carving up city streets or training for the next swell, Carver Skateboards—available at BoarderLabs—keeps the surf alive year-round.
Santa Cruz Skateboards, nestled in the skateboarder's paradise of Santa Cruz, California, burst onto the scene in 1973. Picture this: Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, probably sporting some epic '70s hairdos, get together and say, "Hey, let's start NHS Inc. and shake up the skate world."Â
With over four decades of skateboarding smarts (that's like, 280 in dog years of skate knowledge), Santa Cruz isn't just a brand; it's a skateboarding legend. Thanks to the mind-blowing graphics from the artist extraordinaire Jim Phillips, their decks are more iconic than a rock star's guitar.
And let's talk about NHS's brand family – it's like the Avengers of skateboarding gear. They distribute the who's who of skate brands: Santa Cruz Skateboards (obviously), Creature Skates for the monster in you, Independent Truck Co. (the backbone of your board), Bronson Speed Co. (because who doesn't like speed?)!
