For our Spring 2025 Artist Series boards, we chose to collaborate with Adam Nienow, whose hand-crafted illustrations perfectly capture the essence of surfskating. His focus on simplicity and attention to detail aligns seamlessly with Carver's visual style, creating a powerful connection between art and motion. Adam, a surfer and skater himself, brings his personal experience to the designs, infusing them with authentic energy and passion. The bold colors and embellished details celebrate the vibrant spirit of our community, making each board a piece of art in motion.

33" Blue Widow - The Adam Nienow Proteus model has a mid-sized shape with plenty of front foot area, allowing for a genuine surfboard stance on your skate deck. The board’s artwork is elevated with metallic inks, enhancing the linework and giving Adam's illustrations a striking, reflective quality. Perfect for both cruising and carving, the Proteus combines performance with Nienow's distinctive artistry.

What’s the difference between the C7 and the CX?

The C7 is Carver's signature surfskate front truck, stuff and it has an incredible amount of pump and turning radius. It has a spring loaded swing arm that allows the nose of the board to sway slightly from side to side, essentially allowing you to snap your turns from the tail and pump effortlessly for speed.

The CX is Carver's reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck, and it also has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any other parts. It has a similar feel to the C7 but is less extreme, so if you want a more familiar feel to your board but want to pump and surf, then the CX is the truck you want.
