A deck with a reduced environmental impact!
The wood we use is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). This certification guarantees that the forest is managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local populations and workers while ensuring economic viability.
In addition, we use a highly effective Henkel brand water-based glue that is much less polluting than epoxy resins.
Wood and pop quality
This 7-ply deck is made from Canadian rock hard maple, the best wood for technical skateboard decks.
The wood used for this deck is FSC certified (sourced from sustainably managed forests)
The deck is cold pressed for better durability.
We use a high-performance water-based glue that is less polluting than epoxy resins.

One deck per mould (single deck press)
Our maple decks are cold pressed, one by one. This means that each mould contains only one deck at a time during pressing. This allows for optimal pressure distribution to ensure that each deck has the exact same shape and concave. This is an advantage for those who always want to skateboard with the same shape.
How to choose the right deck size
A skateboard deck should be chosen based on the width you need. A narrower deck means easier handling (great for beginners and shorter riders). The wider the deck, the more stable it is and the safer your landings, making this type of deck good for taller skateboarders or those who like to ride the half-pipes. Sizes are given in inches. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
The length and wheelbase also have a major impact on deck handling and stability
How much does the DECK500 skateboard deck weigh?
Around 1.1 kg in size 7.75". Because the decks are hand sanded and the density of each ply of wood may be different, the weight of each deck may vary slightly. Of course, the deck is only one component that determines the weight of your skateboard. The wheel size and trucks also have a strong impact.
How are our products tested?
All our decks are tested in the laboratory. These tests validate their compliance with the standards for skateboard decks as well as their resistance to wear. As well as lab tests we do field tests - some measured and others based on the testers' opinions - to really put the product through its paces. We rely on our community of passionate, demanding ambassadors who work at Decathlon around the world.
Artistic collaboration
We collaborated with the Lyon-based artist @tomalater to create the graphics for this deck.
