Who This Deck Is For
- Park and transition skaters who want more platform
- Mike Vallely fans
- Skaters who want a deck that outlasts a 7-ply
- Skaters building a custom setup around their own trucks and wheels
Features
- Flight construction: U.S. hard rock maple, fiberglass, and AirLam with epoxy
- Shape 244W, K26 concave
- 8.63" x 32.2" with a 14.38" wheelbase
- Made in the USA (Ventura, CA)
Benefits
- Thinner and stronger than a 7-ply, per Powell
- Pop that doesn't fade as the deck wears
- Warranted by SkateOne against delamination for its useful life
- Exact shape number, width, and wheelbase listed so you can match trucks before you buy
Why Flight Decks
Powell Peralta builds Flight decks differently from a standard 7-ply, using U.S. hard rock maple, high-strength fiberglass, and AirLam fused with epoxy resin. According to Powell:
- Thinner: as thin as your phone.
- Stronger: more than twice as strong in Powell's tail break tests.
- Longer lasting: the epoxy-infused, fiber-reinforced structure is extremely resistant to breaking and gives "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as the deck wears.
- Higher ollies: greater rebound and snap.
Powell's team testing suggests Flight decks last several times longer than a 7-ply. They're made in the USA at Powell's factory in Ventura, CA, and warranted by SkateOne against delamination for their useful life.
