Lush Longboards Minnow C7 Surfskate
The Minnow C7 surfskate stands in a category of it's own in the surfskate lineup! Coming in at 36" long it's got a longer wheelbase and fair bit more standing room than an average surfskate... and it feels amazing.
We paired the classic Minnow surf graphic with the Carver C7 trucks to create this masterpiece. Tested thoroughly by young and old, surfers, skaters and everything in between and it's a firm favourite - affectionately referred to as the "Magic Carpet". Simply step on, and you'll be transported across worlds with a smooth, responsive and joyful ride.
You can pump this board up to speed from a standing start just by shifting your weight side to side, and for all surfskating and longboarding - except going down hills - it's honestly some of the most fun you can legally pay for in a carpark.
She'll turn 180s, 360s, perhaps even more, in one car park space, and still have speed once you're done.
The longer than average wheelbase means that it's much more stable than other surfskates out there, if you're feeling brave you could even practice your cross-steps. It also means it won't whip around quite as fast so if you are looking at surfskates to really get practising your top turns and cutbacks, then something shorter might be more what you're looking for.
The C7 truck is also a bit wobbly in the skatepark - fine for the most part, but you wouldn't really want to be grinding the coping on it. Check out the CX or C5 setups if thats your cup of tea!
We've got one set up in the shop for testing so come by and have a go, see where the magic carpet takes you... from experience we can say, you'll be going there with a feeling of lightness in your wallet, and in your heart.

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £15?
For only an extra £15, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White, poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £15 gets you a set of Cult Cultron over the Pro build's Lush Smoothie. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Cultron are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
