Why surfskating improves your surfing
Surfskates were originally developed to help surfers train their technique off the water.
Benefits of surfskates for surfers:
- Training pumping technique
- Improving rail-to-rail turns
- Developing muscle memory for cutbacks
- Training balance and flow
- Surf-specific movement patterns
Surfskating is an ideal form of land training for surfers, especially in regions with little surf or during the off-season. If you want to deepen your technique, you can also take part in our surfskate summer sessions:

Carver surfskate trucks: CX vs C7
Carver surfskates are available with two different truck systems: C7 and CX.
Both create the typical surfskate carve, but differ in ride feel and intended use.
CX vs C7 - The main differences
| Feature | C7 Truck | CX Truck |
| Ride feel | Very surfy | Surfy with a skate feel |
| Stability | Slightly looser | More stable |
| Technology | Spring + pivot system | Reverse kingpin |
| Usage | Surf training, carving | Pumptrack, park, cruising |
In short:
C7 = as close to surfing as possible
CX = sporty all-round surfskate
Which board length suits you?
The length of a surfskate heavily influences how the board rides.
Mini Surfskates (approx. 26" – 29")
- very tight turns
- easy to pump
- ideal for small spots or parking lots
Short Surfskates (approx. 29" – 33")
- versatile
- good mix of pumping and pushing
- very popular for surf training
Longer Surfskates (34" – 38")
- more stable
- faster when pumping
- ideal for cruising
Generally:
- shorter boards feel snappier
- longer boards offer more stability
Collaborations
Carver collaborates with various surfboard shapers and skate brands to translate different surf styles onto surfskates.
Among the best-known collaborations are …Lost Surfboards, Channel Islands, Loaded, and GRLSWIRL. The models are often based on classic surfboard shapes and bring their ride feel to the asphalt.
