Bowls and half pipes, then smoke some bowls and half pipes, then skate some more and smoke more bowls and half pipes, then go ride some bowls and half pipes, smoke more bowls and half pipes, then go for a surf, you be rippa!

I tried their 6'6" skateboard last week! Soooo fun! And it rocks back and forth like a longboard. You can practice cross stepping on it and the skill can transfer to your longboard.

 

Thanks for the repost. Just read pretty much every page. Will be getting my carver soon, likely the green room. 230 is an expensive drop for a board though!

To be more blunt, pm emazz

 

lol that's funny I just started skating again.not to improve my surfing,but to fukin skate!!! lol.just go surfing if u want to get better,playing on ur driveway wont help ur surfing or skating skills

 

You'll be happy with the purchase. The Green Room is a sic board. It was my go-to for a long time. 34" long and a wide, wide wheelbase. These days, I like the 32" Fraktal much better and also a traditional Black Label skate deck that I threw the CX.4 trucks on.

 

Dude what happened to your original account? lol I found this on craigslist for cheap. Thinkin bout scoopin it.

When your forecast looks like this... anything else is better.........

 

Pull the trig bro, I got the 31.5 USA resin w/ c7 - love the dang thang

 

I concur. I think the Carver really does capture the feel of pumping a shortboard. Same thing with cutbacks and just keeping your hips loose for surfing. Its not like you can learn to surf by riding a skateboard, but if you have a foundation in surfing, and cant get a lot of water time in, I definitely think it helps.

I have a carver complete with the C7 trucks (Knox model) and a set of CX trucks I put on an old longboard deck I had on hand. I like the C7 setup slightly better, but the CX setup is pretty damn good too, and a much cheaper option if you have annold deck on hand.

I like my shorter Knox deck, but the stance is a tad narrower than how I surf. I think the greenroom that someone mentioned is around 34" and probably provides a natural surf stance. I saw another one, Taylor I think, that was the same length or an inch or two longer even also.

 

^ man I'm tryna get my hands on a platypus deck, but it's always sold out when I check, cause they hand make like 5 boards a year or something, and they go fast. I'd love to put carver trucks on that. I think my bhangra would bite the wheels, although who knows!

Would be interesting to have a ton of turn with ton of flex - similar to tight rope? Then for sure my surfing would improve.

Actually JUST checked - it's in stock. Gonna probably order one today

 

Just picked up my 31" Resin Complete! So stoked right now. Snagged from a bra out of Seaside for only $125. It was used twice at most. Safe to say I'll be ripping during this flat spell. Posted my pics below.

Btw first time in Seaside. Place is beat...definitely no Belmar.

 

I'm standing strong on half pipes and bowls...just ride.

 

niiiiiceee!!! good snag f'sho

you take it out yet?

 

Yeah man got about an hour logged in today. In my neighborhood and around Belmar for a bit. I'm thinking I'm gonna take it out again here soon. It literally is a blast and a killer thigh burner too. I need to find some kind of bowl/pipe or some transition to take it on to get the real feel.
