Flight Shape 243 K26 Retro 2019 8.25" (black)

Thinner construction, greater durability: the Flight Deck in Shape 243

Powell-Peralta builds this deck in the U.S. at its own skateboard factory in Ventura, California. The graphics are also created in-house using solvent-free paints. If you break decks faster than you’d like, the Flight construction is worth a look: It’s thinner than a standard 7-ply deck and, according to Powell-Peralta, significantly more break-resistant. The pop is designed to remain consistent even as the deck wears down. The K26 concave is engineered to maximize the flex and pop of the construction.

Features:

• Flight construction: According to Powell-Peralta’s team tests, it lasts several times longer than a 7-ply deck, meaning fewer deck replacements
• K26 Concave: symmetrical with a double kick and medium to mild concave; the nose and tail are closer together than on the K20, with a larger radius
• Shape 243: 8.25" wide and 31.95" long, wheelbase 14.25", nose 6.88", tail 6.63"
• Delamination warranty: Powell-Peralta warrants the deck against delamination for its entire useful life

Note: Griptape, trucks, and wheels are not included.
