[newquaychica]

aaw those things look sick, i really want one but they are so expensive! Probably worth it though, ive heard nothing but good reviews about them! let us know how it goes, im saving for one at the mo!x

Dam how do you guys afford those boards. Arent they $400 or so . I was wondering whats the difference between the carveboard and those other smaller ones which seem to be cheaper. I may get that instead, when it arrives tell us how it rides and is it worth it?

[bluyan]

£120.00 of e-bay - sounds like a good deal just hope its got wheels

My mate use to sell them in his shop, we use to go down a smooth slope near his house, they are awesome, get some sloves though

Does it suck on mostly flat land?

It is pretty flat around my house; I'd have to drive a couple towns over to find an area with hills.

Cravies are great even on flat surfaces.

Just grab a buddy with a bike and hook a rope up to the seat post and follow behind.

Great workout for both involved.

The carveboards will help increase your surfing abilities and are also very fun, you can really crank those things.

I have the Carvestik and i think they are great gives you the feeling of ripping waves on Solid ground. great for cruzing the beach. Havent tried the bigger models with the big ass tyres.

Yeah i'm getting the carvestik. Where did you get yours from sam? a surf shop round here or did you order it from the states?

[Mitur Bin'esderty]

i orded my from http://www.streetgadgets.com/prod/30/16 ... --SurfStik
You can choose the ply for your weight and wat colour deck you want.. But it says 7 day delivery , took mine over 2 weeks but it was worth it in the end

[surfer16]

Damn thats pricey they are selling them in the states for alot less. But maybe when you add the the P&P costs its not much difference. I'm sure i did see them fro $120 on some website..i'll have to have alook for it

I was thinking of purchasing a carvestick since they are smaller and cheaper then the actually carveboard which is like $470 or something. I was wondering how are they to improve your surfing ability and is it hard to use compared to other skateboards.

[Mitur Bin'esderty]

Well the carveboards improve your surfing ability because it improves your leg muscles and helps to improve your turning. And because of the trucks turning and controlling the carveboard is really easy.
