Lush Nomad Surf C7 Surfskate
It's pretty obvious - we stock Carver trucks and we stock Lush Longboards. And if you take the best surfskate trucks on the market, throw them underneath the comfiest cruiser going... you've got yourself a hell of a good time in the shape of a Lush Nomad Surfskate.
Being the "Surf" graphic we had to set this one up with the Carver C7 trucks - the tightest-turning, easiest-pumping surfskate trucks out there. This is the one if you're in this to really work on your cutbacks.
We've been riding one of these around the shop for a year now, and it was only recently we had the lightbulb moment: we should offer this pleasure to the wider public...
We have the luxury of mixing and matching components, too, and the Lush surfskate range therefore comes with the option of the juicy Lush Smoothies or aftermarket Cult wheels for superior speed and grip at a great price.
Inside the shop we've been riding the Pro setup - the big difference here is that the wheels are that bit smaller and have round lips. This is the option if you want to push your carves and cutbacks so hard that you can powerslide. To get round the corners in our office, we have to!
The Elite setup is a little more all-round for outside use with bigger wheels that have great grip. This is the one that'll build up maximum speed and allow you to take that speed with you out of your turns. It will slide if pushed hard.

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £20?
For only an extra £20, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Invader 66mm Longboard Wheels White, poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £20 gets you a set of Cult Invader over the Pro build's Lush Smoothie. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Invader are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
