Def go with C7 for a surf trainer.
Carvers are great for bowl skating. I have the 42" (flowmaster) model and ride it in parks all the time. But the point is not to do crazy airs or...
Yep, I live in Austin and drive 3.5 hrs each way at least 2x a month to surf Corpus / Port A / Surfside etc. Have a number of friends who do the...
Are you angling your takeoff? Seems like the most obvious answer to me.
I'd go with the C7, it's the original and closer to surfing. I'm a fairly new / lousy surfer and it's helped me a lot - at least with the 10% of...
I have two Carvers: the Venice (36") and the Flowmaster (42"). I have also ridden a friend's Monsta (31"). Strangely, I love riding the...

In terms of stuff that gets me psyched for surfing, Thee Oh Sees, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Tyvek, The Clean, good old AC/DC.
I drive 200 miles to surf Texas wind swell. It gets OK in Texas now and then, but given the limitations on when I can make it to the beach, waist...
No experience with Quiksilver, but like a2tall said most of the major manufacturers tend to be stand-up about this sort of thing, within reason....
