This is the Lush Fuel C5 surfskate edition.
It features the greatness of the Lush Fuel cruiserboard, including but not limited to:
- Small mini cruiser with a flattened off nose to allow for a longer wheelbase and more stability in the same package
- Super comfy concave
- A little gentle dampening flex
- Awesome aftermarket Cult Wheels
...but it's got the added epic nature of the Carver C5 surfskate trucks underneath!
Very basically: these turn a whole lot more than the regular skate truck version.
What's good about that? Well it's a whole lot of fun at much lower speeds! That means for beginners, anyone cautious, brave kids with cautious parents, etc, you can experience the joy of carving, pumping up to speed, generally enjoying life on a board without the higher risk, lots of pads or driving to a special hill or location.
What's bad about that? If your brave little one has skatepark aspirations, go for the cruiserboard option. Those trucks are more suited to the skatepark and for tricks in general. For picking up speed, they'd likely be more comfy on those trucks too.
These are definitely a kid-sized board - adults will be better served by some of the bigger boards in the lineup: check out the Nomad, Throttle or more from Carver themselves.
But if you're small, or buying for someone small, check out the Lush Fuel C5 surfskate. It's comfy, turny, fun and everything a little board should be.
