Carver Mariposa 29.25 Surfskate Complete – CX Trucks

For Carver’s Spring 2025 Artist Series boards, they chose to collaborate with Adam Nienow, whose hand-crafted illustrations perfectly capture the essence of surfskating!

His focus on simplicity and attention to detail aligns seamlessly with Carver’s visual style, creating a powerful connection between art and motion. Adam, a surfer and skater himself, brings his personal experience to the designs, infusing them with authentic energy and passion. The bold colours and embellished details celebrate the vibrant spirit of our community, making each board a piece of art in motion.

The Adam Nienow Mariposa 29.25″ surfskate is designed for speed, agility, and effortless maneuverability, making it perfect for snappy rides and sharp turns. The board’s shape enhances responsiveness, allowing for a fluid skating experience that mirrors the freedom of short-board surfing. Adorned with a butterfly motif, the artwork is brought to life with metallic inks, which highlights the intricate linework and adds a shimmering depth to Nienow’s artistic design.

What’s the difference between the C7 and the CX?

The C7 is Carver’s signature surfskate front truck. It has an incredible amount of pump and turning radius, with a spring loaded swing arm that allows the nose of the board to sway slightly from side to side, with slightly wider and more stable turns than a CX truck. Basically, it feels more like a twin fin to ride, but has an adjustable spring you can tension or loosen to vary your ride.

The CX is Carver’s reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck. This truck has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any extra parts. It has a similar feel to the C7, allowing you to snap your turns from the tail and pump effortlessly for speed. It is more responsive than a C7 truck, with a lot more play in the tail, similar to a quad fin!
