One of the coolest all around boards I've had the pleasure of riding. The 46" CARVE 2 from Gravity Boards can be used in practically any situation and is my 3rd favorite board of all time. With the cutouts in the board you can use almost any truck and wheel combo depending on what your needs are.

With the Randal's and Krypto's on the board it can take insane corners and will carve the tightest switchbacks with relative ease. Speeds of 25-35km/h can handled pretty easily and this combo makes a great transportation/carving board.

Throw on some harder, smaller wheels like the NoSkoolz, some Freeride or Indy trucks and this board is ready to take over any Skatepark. Amazingly fast for such a long board, get that baby going and make the other skaters get out of the way! Big board equals big lines! and with the kicktails you can maneuver and thrust it around as if it were a pool board.

If you are in to sliding then leave those NoSkoolz on and take it to a big hill... the size of the board makes it very comfortable to push around even with a softer wheel like the Krypto Classic. It is literally a slide machine, sliding being one of its' prime purpose's. Check out Gravity boards website media section for some SICK vids of the G-Team sliding their boards around like nothing!

If you want a single board that can do it all, then this ones for you, and on a further note, this board seems to stand up particularly well in adverse conditions. Water, Salt and snow damage seems to be mostly aesthetic so far.
