If you've got a longboard or cruiser deck laying around and fancy building yourself a surfskate, you need one of our surfskate setup kits. This is the Elite Carver C7 kit - the turniest trucks and the fastest, grippiest wheels, along with all the risers, bearings, nuts and bolts necessary - just add a deck.
If you're still in the process of researching which Carver truck might be for you, hop over to our write-up on the subject here: Carver C7 vs CX vs Landyachtz surfksate trucks. There's a ton of info available elsewhere on the internet, too!
Shortly put, the Carver C7 is the original surfskate truck and there's a reason it's still a favourite over 20 years later. It's really really good!! Best suited to flat ground, the C7s double action system means that it turns around literally on a dime. For tight spaces, obstacles and really whipping your turns around, this is the one.
Wheel wise, this kit comes with the truly epic Cult Invader. I couldn't name a wheel better suited to a surfskate. At 66mm and 78a, its small enough to accelerate fast from standing, and the square lips offer grip levels far beyond that of any stock surfskate wheel that I've come across. No speed lost from sliding out of your pumps - pure control.
Sabre Built In Labyrinth Bearings are super fast, super smooth, easy to clean, and self-aligning thanks to the built-in bearing spacer. All the more important to keep them in line with the high side-loads of a surfskate.
The hardware and risers for this kit are all from Carver themselves - 1.25" countersunk bolts, nyloc nuts and Carver specific riser pads.
This surfskate setup kit will transform any deck into a top-quality, hard-carving, barrel-dodging spectacle. Give us a call if you want any more info!
