Lush Nomad High Roller CX Surfskate
It's pretty obvious - we stock Carver trucks and we stock Lush Longboards. And if you take the best surfskate trucks on the market, throw them underneath the comfiest cruiser going... you've got yourself a hell of a good time in the shape of a Lush Nomad Surfskate.
The mellow concave and gentle flex of the Nomad are just right on the Carver CX surfskate trucks. After all, your surfboard doesn't have much concave - at least not on top!
We've been riding one of these around the shop for a year now, and it was only recently we had the lightbulb moment: we should offer this pleasure to the wider public...
We have the luxury of mixing and matching components, too, and the Lush surfskate range therefore comes with options of the wonderful Lush Smoothies or aftermarket Cult wheels for superior speed and grip at a great price.
Being the Nomad Highroller we've kept this one setup with bigger wheels than the others - we weren't sure about wheelbite at first but after some solid testing sessions can safely say that this thing goes... and it goes great!
The CX truck is a great option for a versatile surfskate - you can tweak this thing until you can carve 360s around a 50p piece, and yet it's a little more stable and comfortable in daily life than the C7 truck. Popping to the shops is also very much possible. I wouldn't personally skate it down a big hill - that's not why you have a surfskate - but I have seen it done.

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £20?
For only an extra £20, 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 Emperor 71mm 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 £20 gets you a set of Cult Emperor over the Pro build's Lush Smoothie. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Emperor 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!
