Powell Peralta Pro Dan Corrigan Chess Skulls FLIGHT® Skateboard Deck - Gold Foil (8.42 x 31.88)
The Powell Peralta Pro Dan Corrigan Chess Skulls FLIGHT® Deck is a technical high-performance skateboard deck. It combines the patented, fiber-reinforced FLIGHT® construction with the specific Shape 315. This model is the official pro deck of Dan Corrigan and features a metallic Gold Foil finish.
Technical Data of the FLIGHT® Construction
Compared to conventional 7-ply maple decks, the FLIGHT® series shows significant construction-related differences. Manufacturing takes place in Santa Barbara, California.
- Composite Material: The construction consists of 5 thin layers of North American hardrock maple glued with epoxy resin. The structure is stabilized on top and bottom by a fiber-reinforced layer (fiberglass/composite).
- Thickness and Weight: FLIGHT® decks are measurably thinner than standard 7-ply decks (comparable to the thickness of a smartphone) and have a lower weight.
- Break Resistance: According to manufacturer tests, FLIGHT® decks are more than twice as strong as conventional 7-ply decks, minimizing the risk of breakage under high stress.
- Durable Pop: The fiber-reinforced structure prevents the deck from quickly “softening.” The tension (pop) and shape stability (torsional rigidity) last longer than in pure wood constructions.
Shape 315 and Dimensions
This deck is based on the Shape 315. It’s a directional shape with a K20 concave (mellow concave), optimized for the width of 8.42 inch.

Films like "The Search For Animal Chin" (1987) are skate canon.
