Rail Adapter™

Rail adapter so flowy on 56" longboard

Coming from 5 years Carver CX experience on 34", 37", 46" and 48" decks, i've just installed the rail adapter on a Longboard Larry Cruiser 56", my board truck holes are vintage ones (longer between holes), i've placed the plates in order to shorten the WB (from 38 to 37"). The fact that bottom plate holes are vintage with TKP on top plate (Paris Street 149) eliminates the risk to rattle the nuts of each plate. Coming from CX trucks, i immediately noted the advantage of the waterborne adapter, with CX front. I found a good balance with the following set up, rear : shock pad, waterborne adapter with Riptide 87,5, Paris TKP street 149. Front : shock pad + 2 Carver risers and CX with Riptide 85a. It pumps a bit better than with CX+C2, but the most advantage i note is that it mimics much better the longboard surf flow with the rear lean. It allows to drive like a real longboard surf, mostly from the rear, even if the game is to cross step and move to the front. I was expecting an instability because of the rear lean, it's not the case. Instability from the rear comes a lot from the turn. So very happy with this custom set up to longboard surf feel and cross step. I've prefered to use nuts in any case to secure the setup. I don't feel too high on the ground, but it's certainly a max for my taste. I've sanded wheelwells myself just on rear, to be safe with 70mm (Surfskatelove 81a), it was necessary. Front don't needs wheelwells because of CX stop point occurs before wheelbite risk. As 52 years old longboard surfer (9") and suplongboard surfer (10"), i really appreciate this improvment. Great communication and fast shipping much appreciate.

Love it!

Love the rail adaptor and it completes my surf skate setup. Great quality and pricing. I would recommend without a doubt.

Completed My Carver C7 Setup...Excellent!

Incredible surf feel! Been surfing for over 25 years. Stopped skateboarding 35 years ago, but recently bought a surfskate to refine and improve my form and style. My complete Carver C7 board was great, but still turned more like a skateboard than a surfboard. Added the Rail Adapter (and 1" riser for the C7 front truck). Now the surfskate feels more like surfing. Only been training on it for 2 weeks, and I notice my surfing has already improved. Gives me the feel of surfing on my driveway. Can repeat the same cutback for hours on the driveway while not competing for waves. I found my practice immediately translated into my surfing. Building muscle memory is what I hoped for. Excellent product. Thank you for providing as a stand-alone at a very reasonable price. Easy 5 minute install. Love the threaded mount points.
