Powell Peralta Flight Andy Anderson Heron Shape 289 Deck 8.45in

Powell Peralta Flight Andy Anderson Heron Shape 289 Deck 8.45"

Brand new "Flight" deck from Powell Peralta Skateboards. This is the smaller Andy Anderson pro model. Andy's boards are special - very special! Every inch of his board is like that for a reason. This isn't just some mad shape for the hell of it or to look different. Check out Andy explaining his shape online and you'll understand. ;-)

My favourite rider of modern times - he mixes up all skate styles and does so many unique moves

Will, this deck make you skate like Andy? I doubt it but you'll not be able to blame your kit. ;-)

The nose and tail are the same lengths & the deck is balanced for weight across the middle so it rides like an asymmetrical deck but with different shaped ends for different moves.

Powell Peralta has been quietly working away making these hi-tech Flight decks. They are made using maple ply, like regular boards, but the plies are epoxy infused & fibre reinforced. This construction produces decks that are lighter, thinner and super strong plus have enhanced "pop". The "pop" will not fade either. like it does with regular maple constructed decks and they also last much longer too.

Powell Peralta on their new Flight™ Decks:

Five years ago 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 Santa Barbara, California, facility, FLIGHT™ decks are stronger, thinner and lighter than a 7-ply. You'll get the feel of it in an hour or two and begin to realise 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.

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.
• Powell Peralta® decks are made in the USA at our skateboard manufacturing facility in Santa Barbara, CA. Materials include U.S. hard rock maple, high strength fibreglass, 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.
