Wood and "pop" quality
This board is made from 7 layers of Canadian maple (Hard Rock Maple) which is the best type of wood for making technical skateboards.
The board is cold pressed to guarantee better resistance over time.
We use a high-performance water-based glue that is notably less polluting than Epoxy resins.

One board per mould
Our maple boards are individually cold pressed.This means that each mould only presses one board at a time. This allows us to guarantee optimal pressure distribution so that each board of the same model has the exact same shape and curve. Which is an advantage for those who enjoy skating with the same shape.
How much does the Skateboard Deck DK100 8" weigh?
Around 1.1 kg. Because the decks are hand sanded and the density of each ply of wood may be different, the weight of each deck may vary slightly. Of course, the deck is only one component that determines the weight of your skateboard. The wheel size and trucks also have a strong impact.
Behind the design: DK100 - making a board with the best value-for-money on the market
With the DK100 models, we made the deck as sleek as possible for a more affordable model for those on a budget or who tend to break their decks a lot.
We stripped it down to the bare necessities for a basic but excellent deck. There are no graphics or coloured plies, and the technical details are all on a sticker on the bottom of the deck.
How to choose the right deck size
A skateboard deck should be chosen based on the width you need. A narrower deck means easier handling (great for beginners and shorter riders). The wider the deck, the more stable it is and the safer your landings, making this type of deck good for taller skateboarders or those who like to ride the half-pipes. Sizes are given in inches. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
The length and wheelbase also have a major impact on deck handling and stability
