Product information
About the deck
Powell-Peralta's Flight technology is revolutionizing the way skateboards are made. Instead of the usual seven layers of maple wood, this deck uses only five special layers that are bonded with a combination of high-strength epoxy resin and fiberglass inserts. The result is a deck that is significantly lighter and thinner, but at the same time has twice the breaking strength of a standard 7-ply deck. This means less breakage, a longer lifespan and a pop that doesn't fade as quickly.
The Pro Shape 242 is a versatile shape designed for a wide range of skate disciplines. It offers a balanced blend of stability and agility that makes it ideal for street skating, park riding and vertical ramps. The K26 Concave is a pronounced camber that gives your feet maximum grip and excellent control over the board, especially for demanding tricks and fast maneuvers.
The "Skeleton" graphic design is classic and timeless, perfect for skaters who prefer a clean yet striking look. It's a statement that captures the essence of skateboarding - pure performance and understated style.

Heritage — the skate empire of the 80s
