Bing Copeland began surfing at the Manhattan Beach pier in 1949 at age 13, and by the fall of 1959 he had opened his first surf shop with his friend Rick Stoner. Bing Surfboards quickly became one of the most influential surfboard manufactures of the sixties and early seventy’s, renowned for its expert craftsmanship. From his magic nose riders for legends like David Nuuhiwa, to his work with the Campbell Brothers and the introduction of the Bonzer, one of the most unique and enduring designs of the 60’s, his influence on surfing is profound.
Bing Surfboards has gone through many changes throughout the years, but it has always remained true to the roots of surfing. Under the expert guidance of master shaper Matt Calvani, Bing Surfboards continues to refine classic nose riding boards and create innovative modern surf craft. Their logo remains one of the most iconic and recognizable in all of surfing, and Carver is proud to collaborate with such an icon.

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.
History Of Carver
Carver Surfskate originated from the passion of two Venice, California surfers, Greg Falk and Neil Carver. In 1995, during a wave-less summer, they sought a way to replicate surfing on land. Traditional skateboards failed to mimic the fluid motion of surfing. This limitation led them to innovate.
Determined to capture the essence of surfing, Greg and Neil experimented with skateboard designs. They realized that enhancing the front truck's maneuverability was crucial. This insight prompted the development of a unique truck system.
In 1996, they introduced the C7 truck. This dual-axis system allowed fluid, surf-like movements on pavement. The C7's design enabled riders to pump and carve, generating speed without pushing.
The C7's success marked a turning point in skateboarding. It bridged the gap between surfing and skateboarding, attracting both communities. Carver's commitment to quality and innovation resonated with riders worldwide.
Building on the C7's success, Carver continued to innovate. They introduced the CX truck, a reverse-kingpin system offering a snappier ride. The CX provided a lighter, more responsive experience, appealing to a broader audience.
Carver's product line expanded to include various board shapes and sizes. Collaborations with brands like ...Lost and Channel Islands showcased their versatility. These partnerships blended surfboard design with skateboarding technology.
The company's influence extended beyond products. Carver played a pivotal role in popularizing surfskate culture. Their boards became training tools for surfers and a new avenue for skaters. This cross-pollination enriched both sports.
Carver's dedication to community is evident through events and collaborations. They sponsor riders and support grassroots movements, fostering a global surfskate community. This engagement has cultivated a loyal following.
Over the years, Carver's designs have evolved, incorporating new materials and technologies. However, their core mission remains: to deliver the surfing experience on land. This focus has solidified their position as industry leaders.
In recent years, surfskating has experienced a resurgence. Carver's early innovations laid the foundation for this growth. Their commitment to authenticity continues to inspire new generations of riders.
Today, Carver Surfskate stands as a testament to innovation driven by passion. From humble beginnings, they've shaped a global movement, uniting surfers and skaters alike. Their journey reflects the enduring spirit of creativity in action sports.
