Carver Skateboards Roundhouse 69mm Concave Wheels in Glass Green (78A). Designed by surfers for surf skaters, these wheels bring the feel of the ocean to the streets with a unique blend of form, function, and premium ride quality.
Engineered for Maximum Grip
What sets these wheels apart is their concave lip profile, which allows the edges of the wheel to flex slightly under pressure. This dynamic response to turns enhances traction dramatically, especially during deep carves and rail-to-rail transitions. Whether you’re driving off the bottom of a banked curve or slashing a sidewalk, these wheels keep you locked into the line.
78A Soft Urethane for Smooth Rolling
The 78A durometer strikes the ideal balance between soft grip and shock absorption, giving riders a smooth ride on varied surfaces while maintaining precision and responsiveness. These wheels thrive on smooth pavement, skate parks, and gentle hills, making them perfect for controlled, fluid surfskating.
Optimal Size for Versatility
At 69mm, these wheels sit right in the performance sweet spot—large enough to hold momentum and roll over cracks, yet small enough to stay nimble and responsive. They accelerate quickly and are easy to pump from a dead stop, making them a great fit for technical surf-style skating.
