Carver Hobo 32.5″ Surf Skate

Hobo is a clean board with a slightly longer wheelbase. Stained maple and where you can see the beautiful color of the board both underneath and on the top as it comes with a sugarcoat grip. Thanks to the longer wheelbase you get a little more stability when you push. Soft and wonderful carves with a classic rounded pin. Hobo is a tribute to the wandering worker. The one who was always on his feet and just earned enough to get through the day.

The design is made to be able to practice surfing on land and the board's design means that you get very close to surfing both in stance and emotion. The board comes in two versions depending on what type of board characteristics you are looking for. You can choose from Carver's CX or C7 trucks. The CX version is made for a more agile type of riding with faster pressure on the tail while the C7 version is made for an even easier turn with long soft turns.

Carver is today the leader in surfskate and is considered the original of this entire discipline. With its roots in surfing, this type of riding has been developed over a long period of time to come as close to surfing as you can imagine. If you choose Carver, you have chosen the sharpest brand when it comes to Surfskate!

Original Description

The hobo tradition is one of freedom and travel, and of working just enough to get by while you explore the world around you, an itinerant lifestyle that is echoed in the surfer's peripatetic exploration of far away breaks. With folk art ingenuity the hobo carved unique portraits onto common nickels, transforming a mere five cents into something of great value for trade. We celebrate the hobo and their counterculture spirit with this amber maple veneer deck featuring a classic hobo nickel design and clear sugar coat grip. With a longer wheelbase for more drawn out carves and easy pushing, this board will take you anywhere you want to go.

Note that the film shows the Yago Skinny Goat model but they are relatively similar in shape and features.
