Geoff from NSW, Australia says:
About 8 years and as many boards ago, I was in a shop on Sydney's Northern beaches looking to unload a fairly dissatisfying mini mal and holding a Carver while the sales guy was saying" This is what you want ,mate". Stupidly I didn't listen. Now, after only three surfs on my new 8' Carver I can confidently say to anyone contemplating minimal-ism, WAIT ! Try a Carver. I'm certain that mine paddles into waves easier than a mini mal and can guarantee it turns a shedload more easily. I've tried a few so-called paddles-like-a-mal-turns-like-a-short-board packages and the Carver is the real deal. Restraint is required, however. Your new, improved wavecount can make you a little greedy. Absolutely fantastic board.
Ben from NSW, Australia says:
Hi...i just rode a 7'6 Carver for the first time on the weekend. It was perfect 4-5ft beach break A-frames, barreling left and right waves. I'm normally a longboard rider and thought that this board would be perfect for those beach break situations. Easy to paddle, took the drop with ease into a great barrel, came out...it goes great. I would recommend one to anyone.
John Smith from Christchur, New Zealand. says:
Sometimes it takes a couple of good surfs to get a new board wired, but the first wave I caught on my new 8' carverjust blew me away. It paddled into the head high wave easily and turned and CARVED like a shortboard. Most of my other boards are 9'2"-9'8" I'm a committed longboarder, but when it's good now I'll be out on my carver....I LOVE IT. My mate used to rave to me about his7'7" Carver(thats why I bought mine) He reckoned it was the best board he's ever owned.I wish I had listened to him earlier
rob from cali, usa says:
anything from chest high and bigger, i dominate. nice wide sweeping carves and i can still throw tail off the top. great for older guys who still wanna carve and hit the lip. people think it's a funboard until they see me crush it.
mick gregory from N.S.W., maroubra says:
your right just like a short board but with the charicter of a mal.I have an 8ft 4in that I ride in 4ft up and it rips.They love fast drawnout turns big cutties and hold in great in the barrel.Youve got me.
