33" Carson Proteus - C7 Complete

David Carson has been pushing the boundaries of graphic design for decades, and created some of his most iconic work while telling stories of surf and skate in such seminal publications  as Transworld Skateboarding and Surfer Magazine. He’s also been a lifelong surfer and skater, so it’s fitting that he would design a model for Carver.

Showcasing his signature style of intuitive collage, Carson tells a story within a single image, here evoking a dreamlike sense of oceanic memory. Set on a mid-sized Carver Proteus shape, it provides lots of front foot area so you can really spread your feet out for a proper surfboard stance.

This is the signature truck that started it all. Still the smoothest turning, fastest pumping surf truck ever, it's at the leading edge of true surfskate performance. The patented second axis of this front truck not only increases the turning radius of your carve, but lets you snap the nose and pivot your turns off the tail. This dynamic creates thrust and drives you forward with increasing speed. The striking similarity to surfing performance has made the C7 the choice for surf training by Pros and Ams alike.
