Carver CX Raw 30.25″ Firefly Surfskate 2022

Growing up, Ryan Martz was surrounded by a steady stream of the most skilled glassers on the coast, so it’s no wonder that he is now one of the most sought after resin artists in the world. Ryan’s dad Greg Martz started the Waterman’s Guild in 1983 to create the best glass shop in Southern California, where Ryan learned his trade. “Growing up under my dad, he was a perfectionist, so he drove that quality is always thebottom line here, and that’s been present since day one.” Paying his dues and working up the ranks, Ryan has developed his own signature style of resin work, each a one-of-a-kind painting made in flowing pigments that recall the movement of water or fire, frozen in time. Returning for his third resin series for Carver, Ryan made these custom designs the old school way, with pigmented resin on fiberglass for a true surfskate graphic.

CARVER CX TRUCK

With the patented design, CX pumps like a C7, but the CX lands airs and rides fakie with more stability in comparison. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.

The CX also has more pump and a tighter turning radius than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any other parts. It has a similar feel to that of the C7 but is less extreme, so if you want a more familiar feel to your board but want to pump and surf, then the CX is the truck you want on a board like this.

The CX trucks are ideal for progressive airs, reverses, and anyone who prefers a snappy turn.
