Carver Skateboards Glass Off Surfskate Complete C7 32"
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Carver Glass Off Surfskate Complete with C7
The Glass Off is built for the surfer who wants to keep the flow going when the ocean goes flat. At 32 inches with a 17 5/8" wheelbase, this mid-length diamond tail draws out your lines and lets you settle into long, smooth arcs rather than snappy quick turns. It rides the way a good glassy evening session feels: unhurried, fluid, and rewarding.
C7 Truck System: The Heart of the Surf Feel
The C7 front truck is what separates a Carver from every other cruiser on the pavement. A patented dual-axis front truck pivots forward and back as well as side to side, replicating the rail-to-rail sensation of surfing a real board. When you pump through a turn on the Glass Off, your weight shifts engage the C7 exactly the way body positioning engages a surfboard fin cluster. The result is forward propulsion from pumping alone, no foot push needed to maintain speed through a carve. Combined with the stock rear truck, the system gives the board a genuine surf-specific response that generic longboard trucks simply cannot match.
Board Shape and Construction
The Glass Off deck features a diamond tail outline with a mid-length template that provides a stable platform underfoot while still allowing tight, committed turns. The longer nose at 3 3/4" keeps the board predictable when weighting the front foot through a pump cycle. The tail at 6 1/2" provides clean release and snappy pivot when you want to redirect quickly.
The full top graphic is protected by a sugarcoat grip tape application, which means the artwork stays visible through the texture while still delivering secure foot grip. Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion in humid coastal environments, a practical detail for South Florida riders who park boards near the water.
Wheels and Bearings
The 70MM Mag Smoke wheels at 78A durometer are purpose-built for surf skating. The 70MM diameter rolls over pavement cracks and debris that would stop a smaller street wheel cold, critical when you are pumping a line and cannot break rhythm. The 78A urethane is soft enough to grip on painted concrete, asphalt, and pool coping without feeling sticky or slow. Bearings are built into the wheel hubs, simplifying setup and keeping the rolling assembly clean.
Surf Training on Land
Carver Skateboards built the surfskate category around one idea: a skateboard should train the same muscle memory and weight distribution habits that surfing demands. The Glass Off executes that idea at 32 inches, a length that suits surfers transitioning directly from mid-length or longboard sessions. The longer wheelbase encourages the same slow, committed body rotation you need to drive a real cutback. Pump on flat ground and you develop the hip-to-foot sequencing that generates speed on a wave. The board works as daily cross-training or as a standalone carving experience in its own right.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Carver surfskate and how does it differ from a regular longboard?
- A Carver surfskate uses a patented C7 dual-axis front truck that pivots both forward/back and side to side, replicating the rail-to-rail motion of surfing. A standard longboard truck only tilts side to side. The C7 system lets you generate speed by pumping your body weight through turns, exactly the way a surfer generates speed on a wave, rather than pushing with your foot.
- Is the Glass Off good for surf training on land?
- Yes. The 32" length and 17 5/8" wheelbase are designed to replicate the body mechanics of surfing a mid-length board. Pumping and carving on the Glass Off builds the same hip rotation, weight transfer, and foot sequencing that drives speed and control in the water. Many surfers use it as a daily cross-training tool between sessions.
- What does the C7 truck do compared to the CX?
- The C7 front truck uses a two-joint pivot system that closely mimics the feel of a surfboard in water, with a longer, more sweeping pump arc. The CX is a single-axis front truck that delivers a tighter, more skateboard-like response with slightly more stability at speed. The Glass Off ships with the C7 for surfers who want the most authentic surf feel on pavement.
- Can a beginner ride the Carver Glass Off?
- The Glass Off suits riders with some skateboard or surf experience. The C7 truck is highly responsive, which is ideal for learning surf mechanics but requires a moment to get comfortable with the added pivot range. Beginners who are comfortable on a regular skateboard or longboard adapt quickly.
- What are the 70MM 78A wheels best suited for?
- The 70MM diameter rolls easily over pavement irregularities that stop smaller wheels, keeping your pump rhythm unbroken. The 78A durometer is a soft urethane that grips asphalt and concrete without feeling sluggish, ideal for carving runs and sidewalk pump lines rather than technical street tricks.
- Does the Glass Off come ready to ride or do I need to assemble it?
- The Glass Off is a complete setup. It ships with the deck, C7 front truck, rear truck, 70MM Mag Smoke 78A wheels, built-in bearings, stainless steel hardware, and sugarcoat grip tape already applied. No additional parts or assembly are required.
