Carver C5 Trucks – Street Meets Surf
Introducing the Carver C5 Surf Skate Trucks, the high-performance alternative to the classic C7. Designed for surf skaters who want the flow of carving with the stability and control needed for street-style tricks, the C5 system brings surf skating into skateparks, bowls, and technical street lines. Built lower to the ground and optimized for pop and precision, these trucks let you take surf-inspired skating to any terrain.
Optimised for Performance Surf Skating
The Carver C5 trucks are part of Carver’s Performance Series, offering a tighter turning radius and improved stability for trick-oriented riders. Unlike the fluid, rail-to-rail movement of the C7, the C5 is engineered to balance carving flow with the snappy reactivity required for ollies, flips, grinds, and aggressive manoeuvres. If the C7 feels like longboarding a point break, the C5 is like skating a beach break ramp—tight, fast, and versatile.
Key Features of Carver C5 Surf Skate Trucks:
-
Lower profile design for increased stability and control.
-
Springless reverse kingpin system for snappy surf skate response.
-
Engineered for tricks – improved pop and weight distribution for technical moves.
-
Durable construction built to withstand rough terrain and repeated impacts.
-
Rear C4 truck included, designed for stability and power through turns.
Who Should Ride the C5?
The C5 is ideal for:
-
Skaters transitioning from street skating into surf skating.
-
Surf skaters who love skateparks and technical terrain.
-
Riders looking for a lower, trick-friendly setup.
-
People who want tighter turning and more control at higher speeds.
If you’re looking to ollie curbs, cruise bowls, or integrate skate tricks into your surf skate sessions, the Carver C5 trucks are built for that hybrid style.
Surf-Inspired Flow, Skate-Inspired Function
With the Carver C5 surf skate trucks, you don’t have to choose between street skating and surf carving—you get both. The specially designed geometry allows for pumping and carving like a traditional surf skate, while the stable and responsive feel makes trick progression more intuitive.
The difference is in the details: the C5’s lower center of gravity makes it easier to pop tricks, the tighter springless design reduces wobble, and the setup rides more like a traditional street board—but with undeniable surf-style fluidity.
