Carver 31.75" CI Black Beauty C7 Surfskate

The Carver CI Black Beauty C7 is a classic pintail shape courtesty of legendary Channel Islands surfboard shaper Al Merrick.

We love a pintail. Everyone who longboards loves a pintail, even if some of them keep it a secret. This ones a little different to your classic pintail longboards, though, shortened to 31.75" and widened up down to the back to create a really functional platform with no wasted space. Packed with legitimate surf heritage, and yet pretty unique in the surfskate sphere.

Gentle concave and a little tail feature which can be comfy to jam your back foot into to really pull speed out of your turns. Experiment - it feels really different with the back foot inside the front truck and you can really lean with your whole body as opposed to forcing it round. Keep those shoulders pointing in the direction you want to carve and you'll be unstoppable!

A slightly longer platform and wheelbase give this one the power to build some real speed up and draw long, flowing lines. The Carver C7 isn't the most comfortable round town as it sits pretty high, but for the powerful turns and smooth curves it's designed for, it's second to none.
