The epitome of flow has hit the pavement. Loaded Boards, who as we all know, manufacture pretty much the best longboard decks on the planet, have teamed up with Carver Skateboards to create a Compact, comfortable, and agile, Surfskate.
Featuring the Loaded Bolsa deck, stellar CX truck systems by Carver Skateboards with Orangatang wheels and bushings for a premium hard-carving surfskate experience.
Loaded retrofit the CX truck set with the super-high-rebound Orangatang Knuckle bushings. With the orange (soft) Knuckle bushings at the front to provide deep and smooth turning. Then the purple (medium) Knuckles on the rear truck to still provide high rebound edge-to-edge transition with a little bit more stability.
Paired with 70mm blue (extra soft, 77a) Orangatang 4President that offer you very plush and smooth ride; as well as tons of traction for when you're getting really into your carves. This is a great all-around setup that can handle faster surf skating and slashy gravel sprays.

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN – Tailored deck width for excellent turning leverage and seamless pairing with the Carver CX and C7 truck systems and Orangatang 4President wheels. A beefy tail and compact nose (with subtle dished concave) provide excellent maneuverability and leverage for deep carves, slides, and street/freestyle tricks. 7-ply maple construction with custom cross-ply design for optimal stiffness and response. Mild griptape for comfortable cruising and smooth trick execution.
CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE – Rocker profile and mild concave ensure a secure and comfortable stance. Flared wheel wells increase wheel clearance and create ergonomic reference points for your feet—great for sliding, hard carving, and general board awareness.
LOADED & CARVER – Our friendship with Carver dates back to the early 2000s, and we’ve been equipping many of our decks with Carver CX trucks for over a decade. Carver approached us in 2020 about doing a custom collaboration project. The Bolsa is the first of what we hope will be an increasingly interesting and unique partnership for many years to come.
While the trucks speak for themselves, this collaboration is rooted in a shared commitment to quality high-performance products, positive company cultures, and creating unique riding experiences to push the boundaries of skateboarding. We regard Neil Carver as one of the most creative and inspiring truck designers in the world, and after many years of friendship and mentorship we are honored to create a unique Carver experience with a healthy dose of Loaded love.
The CX trucks are lighter, snappier and responsive; perfect for those who want to get aggressive out on the street, like you're tearing up a wave. The C7 trucks have a reverse kingpin front truck allows you to ride fakie and do some aerial maneuvers with a little more stability.
Surfskates are perfect for improving your technique when it comes to surfing! Helping you to improve your balance allowing you to stay in the water longer. Learning fundamental tricks and maneuvers on your surfskate, it will make your surfing easier.
