In 1996, two surfers in Venice set out to reinvent how a skateboard turns. Thirty years later, this board marks the distance traveled. Birdseye maple veneer, an everyday staple of deck construction, reveals the rare beauty of its figured grain under a premium finish. The mold recalls the stretched double-kick boards of Carver’s first year, now carefully contoured for modern, high-performance surfskating.
The components carry the same idea through. C7 trucks, the original dual-axis system, come in raw aluminum hand-polished to a brilliant shine. Round-lipped 83a Slicks in our highest-rebound urethane revive the profile of our earliest boards, when carving hills and slashing driveways demanded grip and slide from the same wheel.
A serialized badge numbers each board, one of 400 worldwide. The run is that limited: the 30-Year comes as a complete only, and the hand-polished trucks aren’t sold on their own. When the 400 are gone, there won’t be another.
