POWELL PERALTA Flight Skateboard Deck – Anderson Heron Skull – Sunburst – 8.45

A unique deck, from a unique skater

From Stacy Peralta – “There are so many within the skateboarding world who look at skating as a religion which must be practiced to exacting and specific standards. You must conform and ride this type of terrain and do these types of tricks. You must not mix this style with that style and have to look this way or else etc. And then once in a while a skater like Andy comes along who doesn’t fit into this fanatical mould, a skater who is such an outsider himself that he doesn’t even fit into skateboarding. He doesn’t fit in because he’s not following it’s false mandates. What Andy is doing is living the creed of what a skateboarder is supposed to be. He’s not conforming nor is he looking for acceptance from conforming, and with that he’s accepting the grief and exclusion that comes with being a true outsider. That is what a real skateboarder is.”

FLIGHT™ decks are:

Thinner – as thin as your phone
Stronger – more than twice as strong in our tail break tests
Longer lasting – The epoxy infused, fibre reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives Flight decks ‘everlasting pop’ that doesn’t fade as your Flight deck slowly wears.
Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.
Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times as long as a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.
