But what makes it so suitable for the young guns?\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarver C5 trucks:\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5 feels similar to the CX - the most popular surfskate truck system out there - but has a lower ride height. Always a good thing for stability and ease of pushing, it's makes even more difference for people with little legs. The C5 truck will be much more manageable for kids, and the lower ride height also makes it much easier for those wanting to learn some skate tricks along the way, be it the basics, ollies or kickflips and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHollow kingpins and axles further lower the weight of the trucks to make it a pleasure for kids to skate around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6-ply construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e This 26\" board is pressed with only 6 plies of Canadian maple - one less than your usual skateboard or surfskate. This lowers the weight of the thing still further and introduces a gentle flex for kids - super comfortable and means you don't rattle your feet off on rougher stretches of tarmac!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e65mm wheels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not too big and not too small - a nice compromise that keeps the ride height low, whilst still rolling smoothly and for a long time for minimal input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBright graphics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ok, I'm (technically) an adult and I really like the graphics too... Though with a name like Quasar I do have connotations of shooting laser guns round some kind of labyrinth situation opposite the bowling alley. Perhaps they missed a trick there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the smallest surfskate (and actually smallest skateboard!) in our whole shop, but thanks to the nice width (9.625\") still has years of life in it as the kids grow older.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all it's an awesome product, thoroughly designed with small humans in mind. You can't really go wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carver Surfskates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57684448149886,"sku":"CMP_CRV_QUASAR_C5","price":239.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1125\/9420\/files\/carver-quasar-c5-surfskate-1.jpg?v=1784289503","url":"https:\/\/vandemlongboardshop.co.uk\/products\/carver-26-quasar-c5-surfskate","provider":"Vandem Longboard Shop UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
