We’re excited to unveil our latest collaboration with California brand Free & Easy, a partnership that perfectly captures our shared easy-going attitude. By blending our surfskate technology with Free & Easy's distinctive style, we’ve created a capsule that feels both innovative and effortlessly cool.
Embracing the Free & Easy mantra of "Don't Trip," this collaboration is all about sunset rides and laid-back vibes. Whether you're pushing through the park or cruising the boardwalk, this collection combines performance with a relaxed attitude. With the Carver X Free & Easy Collection, no need to trip, just enjoy the ride.
The Carver x Free & Easy Gradient Sun blends retro vibes with modern flow. Featuring a bold sunset gradient and minimalist "Don't Trip" mantra, it's designed for effortless carving and laid-back cruising.

Wheelbase: 15 1/2"
Set up:

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.
