Carver CX SurfSkate Bushings

Far superior to Carver stock bushings!

Superior product and great reputation amongst the community. Personalized note in the package increased customer satisfaction.

Bought these to use on Gullwing Charger trucks. They fit perfect! Appreciate how fast Riptide put order together and had it out to me.

Night and day difference. Can tune your ride to feel how you want it to feel based on your weight and style.

Carver have the market cornered with their sub par surfskate trucks that have anodized gate hardware finishes, inconsistent tolerances, and most times an almost incurable click. But for the simplicity of a traditional bushing based surfskate truck that isn't engineered like trying to re-invent the wheel, CX's are pretty much the only option. Enter Riptide. Bushings and pivot cups are not only an upgrade but a MUST. They take Carver from an emotionally marketed toy brand appealing to completes buyers who's only concern is the next sunset cruise reel, to something you can actually dial in to your specs and riding style. You guys are awesome thank you!

Bought the blue and pink APS formula to throw on my Carver CX along with the pivot cups, night and day difference. Feels way more surfy and allows for a real lean going into turns.

Now I can get kookslammed on the pavement too!

Works fantastic, great rebound as advertised. Also elite-level customer service from the team.

I purchased RipTide APS Bushings (Barrel/Cone) for our new Carver SurfSkates with CX Trucks on them. The bushings and washers were easy to install. I love the concept of tweaking your ride based on needs and look forward to explore more of the RipTide line up. These bushings are an easy upgrade to a great Surf Truck skate set up. Since I was upgrading to Barrel bushings on board side, they recommended the cup washers. They were a perfect fit.

I’m on my 5th set of Riptide bushings for my Carver CX & C5 trucks. These supreme quality components make the performance truly come alive. They’re amazing, the manufacturing company is pure gold for having developed so many bushing systems. I tell everyone about them on the surf skate community pages.

Simply the best. I use these on all my boards and love to mix and match front and back, top and bottom with different duros to fine tune my setup!

These bushings and pivot cups make a completely new ride

"Riptide" I put that sh*t on everything!

I put these on my Grasp surfskate trucks. They’re a perfect fit. Every turn, carve or slide feels more predictable and controlled. Plus, the handwritten notes on every receipt says a lot about the company values.

I replaced almost all PU and Pivot Cups with Riptide. Great experience, strong rebound and high pumping efficiency. Very good product!

Had a slightly longer surfskate deck 32” with CX trucks. Wanted a little more turn radius, and response. Pink did the trick.
Fits perfect.

Threw these on my carver surf skate and they are very responsive but not to soft to where I get wheel bite when I carve. Have them paired with the pivot cups and will be getting a pair for my other board soon

Awesome bushings definitely can feel a difference over the stock

Just installed on my Santa Cruz Carver (C5). Feeling is better, less sensible and more precise (regarding my weight, 85kg, I choose the 92,5 A. Many thanks for your development job and high-end products.

NKX trucks are a cheaper copy of carver CX. I tried before other riptide streetskate and orangatang bushings, but these ones fit and feel way better.

The Riptide bushings I got for my CX trucks are exactly what I was hoping for, very responsive but still loose and surfy!

Excellent as always!

Just what I was expecting from your company

Love your products and appreciate the handwritten notes when I order. On my last order i thought I ordered 3 sets of bushings but only received two. The red ones and the yellow ones, but i also ordered the green.

Thanks,
Phil
