All Carver spare parts to evolve your surfskate
This category brings together Carver spare parts for maintaining or evolving your surfskate: decks, C7, C5 and CX trucks, bushings, pads, wheels, bearings and hardware. You can replace worn parts or change the grip, pop or style of your setup.
A new surfskate wheel can increase grip, firmer bushings can better support a heavier build, and a deck with a different shape can change your riding style. The parts remain compatible with Carver systems.
Carver decks: change the shape without changing the feel
Cruisers are easy to ride every day for commuting and cruising. Fish Tails have a strong surf look with a tail inspired by small-wave fish shapes. Pintails are longer and smoother for relaxed carving and long curves. Round Tails are versatile, comfortable in turns and stable underfoot. Single Kicktails keep an active tail that is easy to lift and manoeuvre. Squash Tails have a strong surf shape and provide control through turns and acceleration.
C7, C5 and CX trucks, bushings and pads: tuning responsiveness
The trucks are at the heart of the Carver feel.
The C7 truck is the most versatile, with very smooth turns. It suits beginners through to experts and provides a surf feel for everyday riding.
The C5 truck is aimed at freestyle and street riding. It is narrower and lower, combining stability and manoeuvrability for jumps, tight turns and skatepark tricks. It is better suited to advanced and expert riders.
The CX truck sits between surfskate and traditional skateboarding. It is highly responsive and retains grip for short, powerful turns. It suits bowl riding and intermediate to expert riders.
Bushings are the rubber parts that compress inside the truck. Softer bushings make the surfskate more manoeuvrable and reduce the turning radius. Firmer bushings increase stability, especially at higher speed or for heavier riders.
Pads and risers add a little height, limit wheelbite and improve comfort over uneven surfaces. They let you change the feel without replacing the entire setup.
Wheels and bearings: grip, speed and riding comfort
Three factors change the ride: softer wheels increase grip and comfort on rough asphalt; harder wheels increase speed and momentum on smooth surfaces, bowls or parks; diameter affects acceleration and stability.
Hardware and maintenance: small parts that make a difference
Sound screws and nuts prevent play and creaking. Check the setup after changing the deck or adding pads. A full inspection when replacing spare parts helps keep the surfskate reliable.
Where should you start when upgrading your Carver?
If you do not know which Carver spare part to change first, use this order:
Wheels and bearings: if the board rolls poorly, vibrates or lacks grip, start here.
Bushings and truck adjustments: if your Carver feels too soft, unstable or, conversely, too hard to turn.
Deck: when you want to change your riding style towards a more compact, longer or more surf-oriented format.
Complete trucks: to move from a strongly surf-oriented use to more skate or bowl riding, or to replace a badly worn system.
Carver spare parts FAQ
Which spare parts are available for a Carver surfskate?
This category includes decks, C7, C5 and CX trucks, bushings, pads, wheels, bearings and hardware. These parts let you maintain the surfskate, replace worn components or adapt the setup to a new use.
When should I change the wheels and bearings on my Carver?
Consider changing them if the wheel rubber has become very square or flat in places, if you feel vibrations or rough spots, or if the board maintains speed less effectively. A new wheels and bearings combo is often enough to improve the ride.
How do I choose the hardness of my Carver bushings?
Softer bushings make the Carver more responsive and reduce the turning radius, which suits a lighter rider or a strongly surf- and carving-focused use. Harder bushings add stability for a heavier rider, higher speeds or a board that feels too loose. If unsure, start with a medium hardness and adjust.
Where should you start when upgrading an old Carver surfskate?
If your Carver has already seen a few seasons, start with a new set of wheels and bearings, add bushings suited to your weight and check all the hardware. You can then choose a new deck to adjust your riding style, or change to C7, C5 or CX trucks for a different board character.
