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 Proteus model has a mid-sized shape with plenty of front foot area, allowing for a genuine surfboard stance on your skate deck. The board’s artwork is elevated with metallic inks, enhancing the linework and giving Adam's illustrations a striking, reflective quality. Perfect for both cruising and carving, the Proteus combines performance with Nienow's distinctive artistry.

C7 Trucks

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.
