For our Spring 2025 Artist Series boards, we chose to collaborate with Adam Nienow, whose hand-crafted illustrations perfectly capture the essence of surfskating. His focus on simplicity and attention to detail aligns seamlessly with Carver's visual style, creating a powerful connection between art and motion. Adam, a surfer and skater himself, brings his personal experience to the designs, infusing them with authentic energy and passion. The bold colors and embellished details celebrate the vibrant spirit of our community, making each board a piece of art in motion.

The Adam Nienow Mariposa is designed for speed, agility, and effortless maneuverability, making it perfect for snappy rides and sharp turns. The board’s shape enhances responsiveness, allowing for a fluid skating experience that mirrors the freedom of shortboard surfing. Adorned with a butterfly motif, the artwork is brought to life with metallic inks, which highlights the intricate linework and adds a shimmering depth to Nienow's artistic design.

CX TRUCKS

This is Carver’s hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand it’s a lightweight standard RKP (Reverse King Pin) hanger and base, on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from the system. This means that you can pump this truck like a C7, but it lands airs and rides fakie with more stability as well. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.
