LEARN TO RIP A CARVER SKATEBOARD AND YOU BE DOING CUTBACKS LIKE TAYLOR IN AND OUT OF THE WATER IN NO TIME!
The 29″ Swallow has been one of our favorite boards for years and a staple in the quiver. This little board handles like its namesake, fast and loose. The combination of short and wide is magic, because the shorter wheelbase makes pumping this board on the flats just effortless, but the extra width and concave makes it a comfortable cruiser, too. The kick tail completes the versatility, giving you some needed pop for kick turns and crack-in-the-road hopping, explaining why it’s been one of the longest running designs in the Carver line.
The 31″ Da Monsta is a collaboration with master shaper Todd Proctor from Ventura and is a surfskate with the same look and feel of his popular ‘Da Monsta’ surfboard model. Describing Da Monsta as a surfboard you can skate on waves, the pairing with our surfing skateboard was just a perfect fit. It’s further cross-pollinating performance between surf and skate, and gives riders a tuned pair of boards to do that on.
New for 2012. Taylor had a hand in every aspect of the design of his signature model, from the template shape and specs to the graphics. Everything is designed to work with Taylor’s style of power surfing, from the wide tail to the slightly stretched wheelbase, which provides a bit more stability at speed. This is the board he cross trains on for strength and flow, carving it up and down the hills in front of his house like he’s ripping at J-Bay.
The 31″ Resin. The narrow nose template and wide tail is just like your favorite squash-tail wave killer. It’s plenty wide and just the right length so you can snap and pump the flats with ease, and drop in to any hill with confidence.
