Carver 28.25" Spectra Complete Surf Skateboard - CX Trucks

MODERNISM COLLECTION - PYTHAGORAS SERIES
 
The Swedish architect Sven Markelius was known for his spare geometric forms, often playing with repeating patterns and asymmetric compositions, so it’s no surprise that he found the inspiration for his ‘Pythagoras’ textiles in the work of the namesake Greek mathematician known for his equations describing triangular forms.

Stacking fields of multi-hued triangles with areas of open framework reminiscent of windows, these patterns create a prism-like field of color that simultaneously reveals the material behind it. Featuring templates drawn from the progressive fringes of surfboard design, these models embrace the future while remembering the past, pulling back the curtain on what lies ahead.

The swallow-diamond tail answers the question ‘what would the fish of the future look like’, while the angular nose provides a deep-dish foot pad for sharp cornering and precise control over this short and snappy sled.

This is Carver’s hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand it’s a lightweight standard RKP (Reverse King Pin) hanger and base, on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from the system. This means that you can pump this truck like a C7, but it lands airs and rides fakie with more stability as well. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.
