What is a CARVING longboard used for?
The carving longboard allows you to move forward while pumping, i.e. without putting your foot on the ground, gaining speed by giving your board an angle. What's more, since the amplitude of the Trucks is more pronounced, a carving longboard allows you to go for chopped turns and press your curves much harder. Carving is very similar to surfing, and you can imitate certain tricks such as cutbacks.
