We love wood, the way it flexes underfoot and springs back with a snap, and we dig the grain patterns that form when you slice a ringed log into flat sheets. This moire pattern is like the thumbprint of a tree, its encoded identity. It also makes us laugh when we consider that we’re printing wood grain ontop of natural grain, creating faux/real mashup. This dark wooden simulacra highlights the beautiful patterning of grain as a bold image layered atop the warm amber tone of clear maple.

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.
