Powell Peralta Steve Caballero Ban This Dragon Reissue Deck - 9.265″ Navy/Copper Foil
Powell Peralta Steve Caballero Ban This Dragon Reissue Deck - 9.265″ Navy/Copper Foil
In 1988 Powell-Peralta ran an "Artist Wanted" advertisement in TWS and Thrasher. The contest "winner" would get a job in the Powell-Peralta art department in Santa Barbara. The artist selected was Sean Cliver, mainly because his illustration style closely resembled VCJ's. Cliver's first deck design, the Barbee Ragdoll, was a departure from the traditional VCJ look, but when it came time to update the Caballero dragon, Sean emulated the master. At some point later, someone dubbed the graphic Cab "Ban This" Dragon since it was prominently featured in that video (think slow-motion sequence).

*Given the nature of the foil and the manufacturing process, slight variations and minor imperfections are perfectly normal.
*The dip-dyed top veneer on this deck is one of a kind. Because of natural variations in the wood grain and dyed veneers, the color and pattern may differ slightly from the image shown.
*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.

9.265″ deck width
A broad platform for bowls, ramps and a wider street setup.
Is this deck size right for me?
Nine inches and wider is often chosen for pools, ramps, cruising and shaped setups, but can also work for street skating. Age does not determine deck size. On a shaped deck, check the outline: its widest point may not be where your feet or trucks sit.
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.
