All Hands on Deck

Featuring “Left Behind the Wall” by Jay Alders on the bottom of the deck, this board will be sure to make a statement.
Minimalistic Simplicity.
Simple can be good. The mild concave and lack of camber strip this deck down to its bare essentials. Beginners will find their groove on the 43 with deceptive ease while advanced riders looking for speed, will enjoy the stability the stiffer board offers up.
