DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A shape true to the Fishbeard surfboard
The design takes its lines from the Channel Islands Fishbeard to deliver a feel close to a surfboard: a wide fish tail for power in turns and a narrow nose for quick transitions. On asphalt, that means smooth carves and efficient pumping, ideal for working on your technique out of the water.
Drive and maneuverability with Carver CX trucks
The Carver CX trucks give a clean kick out of a curve and plenty of liveliness. You can feel the board respond instantly to your foot pressure, so you can chain deep carves and cutbacks without losing momentum. It's a setup designed to reproduce the dynamics of surfing.
Concave Roundhouse wheels for grip and speed
The 69 mm, 78A concave Roundhouse wheels deliver good traction and steady speed on different surfaces. They make committed pressure easier and keep the glide smooth, whether you're carving technically or getting around town.
Built for surf training
With a 15.5-inch wheelbase and a wooden build, the CI Fishbeard focuses on energy return and the stability needed to repeat the key surf movements: compression, extension, body positioning and drive. It's a good tool for keeping your reflexes sharp between ocean sessions.
Materials and finish
The wooden deck offers rigidity and durability suited to training. The grip holds well without getting in the way of your front foot, and the bearings ensure a smooth, quiet glide.
Use and versatility
Whether you want to train for surfing, work on your style or simply ride around town, the Carver x Channel Islands CI Fishbeard adapts. Its compact shape allows tight turns and great responsiveness, while staying stable at higher speeds.
