Carver collaborations: shapes from the people who shape surfing
Carver has worked for years with shapers and brands whose boards have influenced surfing. A collaboration is not limited to graphics: the shape often comes from a real surfboard, adapted to the demands of surfskating.
Here you will find the series made with ...Lost Surfboards, Channel Islands, Bing Surfboards, GRLSWIRL and Loaded Boards.
Does this change the ride?
The ride depends on the trucks, length and wheelbase, not on the series. With matching dimensions and setup, a collaboration rides like an in-house model. The difference lies in the shape and visual identity.

Series that do not always return
Collaborations are produced in series. Some return from one season to the next, others do not. If a model is available and you like it, there is no guarantee it will be in the catalogue the following year.
Collaborations FAQ
Do collaborations cost more?
Not necessarily. The price depends mainly on the setup: a C7 model with a more complex front truck costs more than an equivalent CX model, whether it is from an in-house series or a collaboration.
Are the parts the same?
Yes. The trucks, bushings, wheels and hardware come from the Carver catalogue: everything is available in spare partsreplacement parts, whatever the series of your board.
