The Proteus shape itself is described by Carver as forcing a reevaluation of archetypal skate templates, an immersive shape that pairs directly with the bold, high contrast style of the graphic printed on it.
Who This Board Is For
Surfskates like the Proteus are built for riders who want their skateboard to move and pump like a surfboard, making it a natural fit for surfers cross training between water sessions or anyone who wants that carving feel on dry land around South Florida streets, driveways, and parking lots.
The Tommii Lim Graphic
The graphic on this deck comes from international painter, designer, and muralist Tommii Lim, known for large scale, high contrast black and white work that uses forced perspective and what he calls Optical Sculpture techniques to make 2D surfaces read as 3D forms. Lim's bold use of shape is a direct match for the Proteus, a shape built around reevaluating the standard surfskate template.
