TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A board with a smaller world impact!
The wood that we use is FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council). This certification guarantees that the forest has been managed so as to preserve diversity and benefit local people and workers, while ensuring its economic viability.
In addition, we use Henkel's highly effective, water-based glue, which is less polluting than epoxy resins.
Wood and "pop" quality
This board is made from 7 layers of Canadian maple (Hard Rock Maple) which is the best type of wood for making technical skateboards.
The board's wood is FSC certified (taken from managed forests)
The board is cold pressed to guarantee better robustness over time.
We use a high-performance water-based glue that is notably less polluting than Epoxy resins.

One deck per mould (single deck press)
Our maple boards are individually cold pressed.This means that each mould only presses one board at a time. This allows us to guarantee optimal pressure distribution so that each board of the same model has the exact same shape and curve. Which is an advantage for those that enjoy skating with the same shape.
Deck weight
About 1.2 kg. 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 team's opinions - to really put the product through its paces. We also rely on our community of passionate, demanding ambassadors who work at Decathlon around the world.
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
