Carveboarding is a boardsport that takes place on hard surfaces such as roads and sidewalks.
The board used in carveboarding is equipped with small hinges that allow it to tilt up to approximately 45° relative to the horizontal position.
This tilt capability, which is much greater than traditional skateboard trucks, enables more aggressive turns and reduces speed loss during carving.
Carveboarding aims to replicate the sensations of surfing, much like skateboarding did in its early stages.
Unlike the freebord and T-board, which were specifically designed to emulate snowboarding on a skateboard-like platform, the carveboard was developed by surfers/snowboarders, David Colley and Brad Gerlach,[1] for surfers/snowboarders.
