Powell Peralta Dan Corrigan Chess Skulls FLIGHT Skateboard Deck, Gold Foil, 8.42" x 31.88"

Thinner, Stronger, and Longer Lasting with FLIGHT Deck Construction

Deck Specifications:

• Deck Width = 8.42"
• Deck Length = 31.88"
• Wheelbase = 13.88"
• Deck Nose = 6.9"
• Deck Tail = 6.9"
• NEW Shape 315 / NEW Concave K26
  • 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!
• Deck Only, Grip Tape Not Included

FLIGHT Deck Construction:

• 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.
• Made in the USA

Powell Peralta FLIGHT decks are made in the USA at our skateboard manufacturing facility in Santa Barbara, CA. Materials include U.S. hard rock maple, high strength fiberglass, AirLam fused with epoxy resin and are warranted against delamination for their useful life. Our graphics are created in-house using non-solvent based inks and paints to keep our atmosphere cleaner.

About FLIGHT Deck Construction:

We have always looked to improve our skateboard deck construction. In 2015, we set out on an exploration to improve the strength and performance of skateboard decks and to see what was possible. FLIGHT decks apply what we learned into making a superior deck with increased performance at an affordable price.

Built in a new production area in our Ventura, California, facility, FLIGHT decks are stronger than a 7-ply. You'll get the feel of it in an hour or two and begin to realize you can do things riding a Flight deck that cannot be done on a 7-ply. Flight decks allow you to extend your limits, because they let you ollie higher, flip faster, do tricks more easily, and they don't break in two like a 7-ply.

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.

In fact, because Flight decks last so long, many of our team riders re-grip their decks two or three times before changing decks. One of our pros rode his Flight deck for eight months, and only retired it so he could ride a fresh graphic.

The way Flight decks usually wear out is through edge impacts and razor tail, not from losing their pop or breaking like a 7-ply. We have also occasionally seen the bottom maple ply of a Flight deck crack from extreme landings or being run over by a vehicle, but even this does not render a Flight deck unrideable. The strength and pop of a Flight deck is in the super strong reinforcing plies, not the maple bottom ply, which is there for grinding, not for strength.
