Purchased this after your review - it was nice to learn after my purchase that you were 100% spot on. Thanks Shane! I enjoy both the ability of the looser setups allowing for easier snaps and slides. Tighter for stability at speed... exactly how you demonstrated!
Dude, you're the best! Thank you so much for the wheelbase measurements. I was wondering about the actual axle to axle measurement. Now I can pick a deck that suits my surf stance.
Your riding is amazing! I haven't seen anyone going as tight as you on CX trucks. I don't know why anyone would bother with smoothstar or C7 when the CX is so much more reliable and can do such tight turns.
what a cool review! You made me decide to go for it. Hope Carver is giving you something in return for all the reactions below !
I started surfskating 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Your videos are super helpful, thanks a lot man. I bought this as my first surfskate and I am very happy with it.
Estan bien para empezar los ejes cx? Voy a empezar pero me han dicho que mejor c7...
@@gonzaloguillen6459 está muy bien. No solo para empezar. Yo lo tengo y también tengo el truck de smoothstar. Los voy alternando. En comparación te diría que el smoothstar cansa mucho más y no es tan bueno si lo usas para cruising. El CX al no ser tan "inestable" tiene la ventaja que puedes darte impulso cuando estás muerto. También noto que la aceleración es más rápida que el otro. Si piensas usarlo para largas distancias toma el cx. Si piensas usarlo para 1h de carving usa un truck con muelle. Ah y es más liviano. Bueno es mi opinión.
Find your review just after got my first Triton Signal 31" two days ago. I am a beginner and thanks for your video that I can learn from it and hope I have fun with my skateboard!
Wise man once said... when performing an infinity loop... make sure your trucks aren't squeaky!
🤜💣💥
Great review! Thanks! Still love my Pukas board and Toledo 77.
Thanks for posting… nice to see someone surfskate goofy…
Underrated?? Hell no!!! I learnt the very basics of pummping, carving and bottom turning on a Carver Triton 26" (suppossedly for kids...and I'm 5,11 and 185 pounds)...so yeah. Love it, gonna keep it and will continue to use it in conjuction with my newer Slide diamond tail. It showed me a fantastic new world of surfskating...and I'm trully tahnkful for that weird and random purchased made 2 years ago. Who knew...
Bought the Carver Triton Astral 29 on Shane’s approval. Happy with the purchase and great review as always. Keep it up, Shane. BTW, the wheels are grippy and skin on but I can slide it easily hands down. It’s the front truck. I get wheel bite if I loosen it a bit, though.
Wow, nice explaining video, I have a Triton green glass, and it is working really good, even in a bowl
Thank you for the video, good shots!
Great!! Thank for review bros.
Nice review. But when oh when can we see the full thorough review of the Yow Arrica?
Thanks Shai !!
Thank you for the video, very useful as I am choosing my first surf skate as beginner.
How to choose correctly the size 29/30/31/32 ..? Does it have smth to do with my natural stand width?
Merci pour la comparaison je me posais la question de 'a différence de qualité de trucks entre CX Carver et Triton
great review, thanks
I can t realize how can you slide and snap with that wheels. I feel it super grippy D: I m trying to snap but the only way to get it, it s been to install back wheels on the side with no lips to get less grip
Hey mate, what’s your height and weight? I’m looking at getting this board but a bit worried it will be too small. I’m about 6ft and 83kg. Cheers for the review!
175cm 76kg.
It might feel just a tad narrow for you
@@shanelai2515 Oops! I am 190cm and 90kg and waiting for the Prismal to be delivered. Il va donc bien falloir m'adapter 😀. J'espère que ça passe quand même.
What is your comment on this one and the bolsa u have now with the aqua trucks?
So to do the infinite loop on Triton you don’t need to add the body up/down? You make that too easy😫. I always stuck at the transition and my experienced friend told me I need to add the body weight up/down to gain more momentum, which I’m also bad at as I can’t straighten my leg effective enough to provide the momentum 😭
Beginner surfskater here, so what do I know. However, I can imagine that bodyweight also makes a difference whether turns are easy or not. I’m about 200 lbs and turning is not much of a problem. Hope this helps.
Thats not true the cx triton is 12 mm narrower and it has a different feel. I know cause I have both!
Thanks. Which truck feeling do you prefer, the shorter version assembled on triton or the longer carver truck made in us?
@@KitesiteBr I prefer CX original if WB is short. Triton on longer WB. Basically the original is more stable
What's better with carver blacktip?
Do you get drama riding around like that on the crowded streets ?
I'd love to do it , but I'd be too worried that I'll startle families with young kids
Nah, Melburnians are pretty chill with skating as long as we respect each other's space
So can you adjust the looseness of the truck by adjusting the screws or what were u doing there? Would u recommend to loosen it up to go to a skate park?
Yes, looseness is adjustable through the screws. Looseness preference is highly individual. Looser setups allows for easier snaps and slides. Tighter for stability at speed
Hello Shane, I´m rookie looking a surfskate for Bowl riding. I'm 169 cm and 80 kgs, do you recommend a Triton 30" (16 1/8" WB) o 31" (17" WB) ? Thanks!!
Take the bigger option for more stability in the bowl.
Hi I will get mine in about a week but the wheels are 83A instead of 78A. Does it make a big difference in ride comfort?
I find the durometer to be less important than the urethane formula. I like 78a and cannot tell the difference between it and 77a and 80a. I have 88a as well and still cannot tell the difference. I notice a difference in comfort at 93a. The softer, the more comfortable. If you like hard wheels, you can always put a shock absorber or rubber riser.
Hi Shane. A newbie here. Been doing a 1 month research on buying a surfskate for a beginner. And triton is definitely in the list. I am 153cm and 74kgs. Is 29” enough for me?
Not Shane but may my input helps. 157 cm and around the same weight. I have a 29" Penny Surfskate and I really enjoy the size! I also ordered a 29" Carver Triton CX because of that. Hope that helps.
I love my cx trucks but their decks are cheap shit. I think your review is dead-on!
When you say "cheap shit" what's the real problem with it? the concave on the triton is comfortable but still there, the deck is very lightweight; good for carrying under one arm and can pump up hills more easily. The kicktail is prominent and well cambered. I have a yow deck (coxos) and have swapped over my merakis to the triton deck because I prefer the riding experience. If you have valid critiques of the carver deck I'm all ears.
@@daikw thanks i just spent money on the board so glad its not terrible
@@nicolassullivan7746 sweet. Its not a premium board in terms of thickness and density like the yow decks. But it makes up for that in ergonomics IMO. How do you like it?
@@daikw Perfect! I like the shape and overall dimensions of the deck. It is all there! I wish it were denser, but it would make it heavier as well... When it hits something or scratches in the ground, the damage in the deck is bigger. But I believe the purpose of the Triton is introduce you to sufskating. When you get hooked and are skating quite well, it is time to move on.
nice looking quiver at the end, was trying to decipher what you've got so far beyond the reviews I've seen in your channel. what's your fav go to deck?
Great review, thanks Shane!
ride like a shorti which i love the c7 hated it mad overrated
Hey I have that carver black beuty! Could you make a video riding it? That would be great
CX or Slide , what's better ?
Hi Shane! I have been reading that the triton cx truck made in asia are slightly shorter in length than the carver cx made in California. As you probably have both, could you give your opinion on that? In the video they appear to be exactly the same, but if it is a small difference we can not tell just watching the videos. Thanks a lot! I am learning a lot with your videos.
Honestly I don't know. I put them side by side and I saw no difference on the outside. Though we can recognise a carver CX from a triton CX by the 'Neil Carver' forged in the metal on the underside (tritons don't have it)
Nice one Shane!
Hi! Thank you for the video! Love it!! I wanted yo ask something idk if you could help me. I'm thinking about buying one but with your height you posted before... Don't you feel the board too large? I'm 180 cm and don't know if 32" would be too large for me.
longer boards and wb allows for wider and lower stance for deeper and stylish carve. it all depends on your natural stance and what allows you to squat deep ( if that's what you want)
For me, I like the 32” popsicle stick shape the best. I ride the 29” Astral Triton for these kicktail/fishtail/pintail shapes and it’s fine. These boards have no functional nose so you can go shorter deck and still keep your usual stance. If the deck is too long, you can always drill extra holes at the nose to shorten your wheel base.
