DESERT SWELL - Carver Skateboards

We're proud to present our latest short film "Desert Swell" following Edoardo Papa and Val Laforge on a desert odyssey to some of the most insane terrain they’ve ever encountered. Smack dab in the middle of the California desert, what seems like a mirage at first glance, ends up being a surfskater’s paradise.. complete with fast lines, an overhead cradle and even the chance to get a concrete barrel.

Featuring our updated, best-selling Resin and Firefly surfskates with art by legendary resin artist Ryan Martz from Waterman’s Guild. This is what surfskating is all about.

Directed by Gabriel Nakamura
Filmed and Edited by Gabriel Nakamura / John Viana
Featuring Edoardo Papa and Val Laforge
