Tyler Hatzikian shapes ‘progressive-traditionals’, an evolution of the classic longboard that combines smooth trimming with responsive carving, represented here with this archetypal square-tailed, mid-length log that has just a hint of point to the nose, based on his classic ‘777’ nose rider.
It’s just long enough for a little walk up and back, and short enough for easy pushing and fast down-the-line pumping.

This is Carver’s hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand it’s a lightweight standard RKP (Reverse King Pin) hanger and base, on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from the system. This means that you can pump this truck like a C7, but it lands airs and rides fakie with more stability as well. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing.
