Next time your local surf break is stacked with windblown slop, ignore the Xbox and go bomb the 'hood. This retro-look board isn't just shaped like a wave rider, its components were designed to mimic the feel of a surfboard underfoot. Key to its fluidity is the spring-loaded front truck, with a dual-axis setup that's far more responsive than a classic skate truck. When riding waves, your back foot stays anchored over the fins while your front hoof pushes the nose around. The Carver lets you pump and weave in much the same way, all while keeping the front wheels grounded. The wheels are unique too: An hourglass shape delivers a large contact patch, providing extra grip for carving out deep turns. It's the next-closest thing to riding on water and the best way to get rad on lousy beach days.
