International painter, designer and muralist Tommii Lim confronts the zeitgeist of today’s instant gratification, digital era by building large-scale works that deconstruct observation and form, seducing them into high contrast, minimalist black-and-white compositions. Lim seeks to disrupt a viewer’s line of sight by building bold, immersive installations and murals with his Optical Sculpture techniques, employing forced perspective methods to manipulate the human eye into forming 3D objects from 2D surfaces, thus allowing the viewer to fully immerse themselves in his paintings for a brief moment in time. Lim’s bold use of shape fits perfectly with the Proteus, itself a shape that forces a re-evaluation of archetypal templates and encourages an immersive interaction.
Set on a mid-sized Carver Proteus shape, the Tommii model provides lots of front foot area so you can really spread your feet out for a proper surfboard stance!

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!
