Discovered at a Virginia Beach contest by Lance, a young Mike Vallely was asked to join the Powell-Peralta team and quickly rose to fame as a premier street skater. After initially rejecting the Roach graphic, Vallely worked closely with VCJ on an elephant theme. Mike and his elephant deck were both very popular.

*Given the nature of the foil and the manufacturing process, slight variations and minor imperfections are perfectly normal.

**If you don’t plan on skating this deck, please handle carefully when removing from the packaging. The ink/foil adhesion is delicate and can be easily scratched.

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, 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.
  • Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.
  • Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times longer than a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.

8.38″ deck width

A middle ground for street skating and park sessions.

Is this deck size right for me?

This width sits between a compact 8.0 and a roomier 8.5. Consider it if you mix flip tricks, street skating and park riding and want to compare the feel of a middle size.

Your fit comes first. Height, shoe size, stance and riding style help you choose a starting point. Bigger feet may prefer more room; height also affects how much length and stance space feels comfortable. There is no fixed sizing rule—personal preference gets the final say.

Compare with a board you know: measure straight across its widest point, edge to edge. The width is only one part of the fit; shape and length matter too.
