Powell Peralta Skateboard Deck

Powell Peralta Re-Issue Deck

Details

Discovered at a Virginia Beach contest by Neil Blender and Lance, a young Mike Vallely was asked to join the Powell-Peralta team and quickly rose to fame as a premier street skater. After initially rejecting the Roach graphic, Vallely worked closely with VCJ on an elephant theme. Mike and his elephant deck were both very popular. We're happy to have Mike back home at Powell-Peralta.

Powell Peralta Flight Deck

Details

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, fiber reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives them "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as your deck slowly wears.
Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.
Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times longer than a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.

*Remember, skateboards are meant to be ridden, not run over by a car or truck.

K26 Concave:

Powell Peralta’s K26 is a symmetrical, double kick mold with a familiar medium-to-mellow concave. The redesigned nose and tail are set closer together than on the K20 and feature a larger radius, allowing for smoother, more precise flicks and tons of pop. The K26 also accommodates a variety of deck shapes, up to 9.75" wide, with wheelbases of up to 14.5". The K26 is the first concave designed to optimize the flex and pop of Flight deck construction, but it feels great on 7-ply too!

*Given the nature of the foil and the manufacturing process, slight variations and minor imperfections are perfectly normal.

About the Skull & Snake Artwork:

Just as Mike McGill was perfecting the 540 McTwist in the summer of 1984 at Swedish summer camp, V.C.J. was working on a new deck graphic for him. Since the "Skull & Bones" theme was proving to be popular, that was the direction chosen for McGill's new deck. Mike's input was to add the snake and lightning bolts since there is an abundance of both in his home state of Florida. McGill's Skull & Snake is truly a classic skateboard icon.
