Brand new
Brand new "Flight" deck from Powell Peralta Skateboards.
This is the newest symmetrical Andy Anderson pro model no need to worry which way round your deck is anymore. ;-)
Andy's boards are special - very special! Every inch of his board is like that for a reason. This isn't just some random shape for the hell of it or to look different. Check out Andy explaining his deck shapes online and you'll understand. ;-)
Watch him skate and you'll understand even more!
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. ;-)

Powell on Andy's new deck:
Powell•Peralta is proud to introduce Andy Anderson's new Baby Heron, Vajra Deck, the culmination of over a decade of evolutionary performance-driven design modifications, making this new all-terrain deck easier to ride, flip, and pop than standard “popsicle” designs, which haven't changed in thirty years. Andy focused on making every aspect of his skateboard functional, easy to ride and designed to wear into every skater’s performance-enhancing personal shape.
Ten prototype evolutions of Andy’s 3rd generation Vajra deck were required to achieve this perfection. Made with the incredible strength of Flight Deck construction, the Vajra is durable and will stand up to the demands of today’s advanced skating.
Andy's set up with this deck is Mini Logo 8.0" trucks and his 52mm 97A Nano Cubic wheels.
Powell Peralta have 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.
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.
Trucks - Indy 144s, Krux 8.25, Bullet 145s, etc. option.
Wheels - whatever your favourites modern pool/park/street wheels are.
