CARVER offers surf boards at low prices (under 200 euros) under the name Triton by CARVER
This Triton range includes 5 complete boards, all equipped with truck CARVER CX, the truck hybrid from surfskate poyvalent.
Let's take a look at the models in the Triton x CARVER range to understand the target audience for each board.
Before going into the details of what makes each board different, let's take a closer look at what's common to all of them:
CARVER CX truck. Available on many CARVER boards surfskate, the CX is a hybrid between a truck from surfskate and a truck from street. Its aim is to provide more stability than an articulated truck like the CARVER C7 or the YOW Meraki, while offering greater carving capabilities than on a standard truck.
In fact, it's an excellent alternative for all-terrain skateboarders who want to enjoy both skateboarding and skateboard, but also pumptrack surf-stylebut also pumptrack and why not enjoy their board as a street board (Ollie, Gaps, more stable landings). For surf, the CARVER CX offers plenty of angle for tight turns, and allows you to pump to move forward, even if the C7 remains the CARVER reference for this type of riding.
Compared with a CARVER C7 truck, the CX is also less expensive, bringing the overall price of Triton by CARVER boards under the 200,000 euro mark.
CARVER Roundhouse MAG 68mm wheels. The classic CARVER wheels, now found on a large part of the CARVER range, and on all surf Triton boards. Less wide than the Roundhouse CONCAVE, they also have a solid core and slightly pronounced lips.
Developed exclusively for surf, the Roundhouse MAG is designed as a good compromise between grip and glide, to reconcile all surf practices: Surfstyle, Pumping or Bowl. A great wheel for cruiser on all types of surfaces.
Triton boards from surf are all between 29 and 32 inches long (identical width of 9.75 inches), but each has its own particularity that makes it more suited to a particular type of riding. We've summarized the essentials here to give you a good idea of the entire Triton range:
CARVER Triton Astral 29" (Wheelbase: 15.25")
The smallest surfskate Triton, the Astral is dedicated to smaller riders and skaters looking for ultra-responsiveness. With its short wheelbase, it is particularly playful for larger skaters. Shape Fish Tail.
CARVER Triton Spectral 30" (Wheelbase: 16.125")
A mid-size and short wheelbase for big skaters looking for responsiveness. An equally playful surfskate but with a wider, rounded kicktail, offering more room for the rear foot. An excellent fit for hardcore surf moves.
CARVER Triton Tidal 30.5" (Wheelbase: 16.5")
The medium size, the right compromise. The Tidal also has a wide tail and a wide, rounded nose. A must-have if you're looking for a noseriding or bowl board.
CARVER Triton Signal 31" (Wheelbase: 17")
The basic model for an adult male from 5'7" to 5'8". Perfect for trying everything from flat to bowl to pumptrack.
CARVER Triton Prismal 32" (Wheelbase: 17.75")
The longest surfskate from Triton by CARVER. Better suited to taller riders (1.80 m), the carve movement offers more amplitude. An ideal board for cruiser, to pick up speed and enjoy the curves.
