Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are trucks and wheels included with this deck?

No, this product is a deck only. You must purchase trucks, wheels, bearings, and grip tape separately.

What is the best truck size for an 8.65-inch deck?

Generally, 149mm trucks are the recommended width for an 8.65-inch deck to ensure the axles align correctly with the board's edge.

Why does the color of the wood look different than the picture?

The stain color of the top and bottom plies can vary per individual deck, which is a standard occurrence in skateboard manufacturing.

Is this board suitable for beginners?

Yes, its medium concave and standard proportions make it a versatile choice for beginners and experienced riders alike.

How long is this skateboard deck?

This specific deck measures 31.75 inches in total length.

Troubleshooting

Deck feels wobbly when riding

Check that all truck mounting hardware is tightened evenly and verify that your truck bushings are not worn out.

Board seems to turn too much or too little

Adjust the kingpin nut on your trucks to change the responsiveness of the steering; tighten for stability, loosen for more turn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To build a complete board, you will need to mount your preferred trucks (ideally 149mm or equivalent sized for an 8.65-inch deck), 52mm-56mm wheels, and standard skate bearings.

  1. Preparation: Apply your favorite grip tape to the top ply, ensuring you trim the edges cleanly with a razor blade.
  2. Truck Mounting: Align truck baseplates with the pre-drilled holes and tighten bolts securely.
  3. Care: To extend the life of your deck, avoid riding in wet or sandy conditions, which can cause wood delamination or bearing seizing. Keep the board stored in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
