    I've been having many encounters with them lately, they look so fun. Kinda seems like a grom thing, but does anyone have one and would like to tell me about it?

    carver boards are great. buy one for fun. buy three if you're really serious about surfing. no time for amateur hour.

    Grombrah, lots of guys on here have them and swear by them. Do what nj42 said and search for the threads about Carvers since there are 4 or 5 very good ones. Let this thread die and add to the others. Drop me or any others in those threads a PM with questions if you care to as well. Next time you're in RI charging, there are a couple stores down there you can go check one out at that sell them.

    They're at the Thames St. shop too, I forget the name.

    That Resin looks great. Got the Knox in the same size. Download the full PDF catalog for photos and details of all their boards.

    There are multiple trucks for the front, although the C7 is the way to go for the highest surf-skate effect. Check the Tech Info tab up top on the Carver site and they detail all the trucks.

    Did you try it out up at CR?

    Save those pennies and you'll be stoked on those street sticks!

    Are you moving to a Central American country with no asphalt on roads or resilient flooring anywhere indoors? Rode the Face Time yesterday at shop in SD area. Sick stick. 38" even faster than my 36" Pintail. It's a nasty piece of stoke so someone better pick it up. Drop the price to $180 and I bet it goes a lot faster.

    Also whipped the Fractal and know why Erock loves that thing. Could be the best Carver out there. Put new wheels on my Pintail and Knox and it's on a whole new level now. We may only get windswell in the EC but there's ground stoke on the road.

    What wheels did you get Emass? I've had Abec 11 No Skoolz on mine for about a year, they grip well but break loose perfectly when you want to slide them.
