Some brands wait til Spring...
But Carver waits for nobody!
And maybe it makes sense - the surf is pumping all winter, so why not release fresh surfskates to go along with it?
But then again, it's harder to score dry conditions to actually use 'em...
A conundrum, perhaps, but I'm stoked on it because winter can be a slow time in the industry, the shop and my brain when looking for newsletter content.
All the easier for 9 new Carver surfskates coming out.
Highlights include the long-awaited two new GrlSwirl models, a new Bing Continental graphic (above) and more of our favourite rockered Lost surfskates.
Our website is now completely inundated with Carver boards, so I've also taken the opportunity to clean up the navigation around the various collections.
I figured if the lineup was confusing to me, then it probably wasn't all that clear to you either!
You should be able to flit around now at your leisure between truck type:
As well as Carver's own collections:
- Carver Pro Models
-
Carver Shaper Series
- Further split up by shaper!
- Carver GrlSwirl
- Carver Kids boards
And the million dollar question... do they make you any better at surfing?
I surfskated quite a lot this last year, and...
I still wouldn't say I could surf.
Makes for an exciting afternoon out though, especially with the weather lately.
And when all is said and done, I think an exciting afternoon out is the tonic our souls need.
So grab your surfboard, skateboard, longboard, surfskate, mate, mum, dad, son, daughter or dog and see what you can find.
You could even leave your phone at home :)
See you out there,

We've also fully stacked out the riser options for Carver trucks.
Whether you need one single riser, the single lift kits (two risers plus bolts) or double lift kits (four risers plus longer bolts), either for the CX or the C7... we've got it.
This is the one we've been asked for a few times - Val Laforges GrlSwirl model, the 31" Sunflower.
Carve grinds in the 12ft deep end not required to enjoy... thankfully!
