Maui native Kai Lenny defies easy categorization, having truly mastered so many board riding disciplines that listing them all seems impossible; Surf, Hydrofoil, Kite, Windsurf, Stand Up Paddle, Prone Paddle,
Outrigger Canoe, Big Wave Tow-In, and now Surfskate.
A first to do many things, break records and exceeds the imaginable over and over, this Surfing Hall of Famer is widely considered one of the best
waterman in history. So when we saw him surfskating on his own Carver with his inimitably bold style we were stoked. Kai is a true aloha ambassador and
we’re proud to have him help spread the surfskate stoke with his sunny smile and charging feats.
Kai created this Lava pattern for his upcoming surfboard quiver and wanted to use it on this mid-sized mainstay too, pressed in the Hyperspoon mould for a deep-dish spoon nose
contoured for your carving pleasure.

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 it is comparable to a twin fin to ride. However it has an adjustable spring you can tension or loosen to vary your ride.
The CX is Carver’s reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck. It has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any extra parts. Although it’s 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!
