Prolonged pop is also guaranteed! They vary, however, in using two 0. This creates an additional epoxy resin layer, which makes the deck harder and gives it more pop.
Real decks with R1 construction are pressed in a special procedure, which applies equal pressure across the entire surface of each board. The Heavyweights technology from Real uses thicker x-band plys that generally make skateboard decks strong and durable.
This makes them a little heavier but also a lot stronger, plus these decks provide long-lasting pop. This means they are slightly concave lengthwise and have a lower centre of gravity. Advantage: Low Pro II decks are supposed to be stronger, easier to control and have quicker pop. Shaped decks are hybrids of new school street decks and old school pool decks. They feature pronounced concaves, as well as curved noses and tails and all sorts of different shapes compared to classy Popsicle decks.
This gives you more space to stand on nose and tail. Full-SE simply means that the decks are shorter with a shorter wheelbase. The Everslick decks from the house of NHS are designed to provide longer and smoother slides. This technology is used on decks from Santa Cruz and Creature Skateboards.
A positive side-effect of this is that the graphics will also last longer, allowing you to enjoy them for even longer. The Element Iceberg technology is a process designed to enhance the quality of slides of Element decks. The Element Iceberg technology is similar to the slick technologies from Plan B or Real, and is used on the bottom sheet of a skateboard deck.
For this purpose, a coating optimised for slides is applied over the graphic sheet of the deck. The Real Slick technology improves the quality of slides of Real skateboard decks. This is achieved by fusing a special, ribbed polymer structure to the bottom ply of a deck with R1 technology by using strong heat instead of glue. This will give you a deck that slides well on nearly any surface and is more resilient. The Powell Peralta Flight decks are thinner and lighter, but stronger than the usual 7-ply decks.
The epoxy-enriched, fiber-reinforced structure of the Flight Deck is extremely shatter-proof. In addition, these skateboard decks get more pop and a longer life span than the usual 7-ply.
The Santa Cruz VX technology is designed to improve durability, reduce weight and give you more long-lasting pop on your skateboard deck. Five layers of North American hard rock maple are combined for this with two layers of patented Santa Cruz Quad X technology material; a special composite in which fiberglass and carbon fiber are vertically heathbonded. These layers are thinner, but more resilient than regular wood.
With the cold press method from skateboard manufacturer NHS, who also make skateboard decks for Creature and Santa Cruz, the 7 layers of North American maple are pressed without heat, using glue instead of epoxy resins. This method creates a different board feel and ensures durability and resistance to warping.
The 7-ply birchwood construction is designed specifically for younger and smaller skateboarders. Birchwood skateboards are slightly cheaper and therefore perfect for beginners and those who want to give it a try.
Decks with the 7-ply birchwood construction are manufactured with the single-press process and as such, guarantee a consistent shape and concave with each pressing.

If you only skate mini ramp your deck lasts way longer than when you sold skate street. If you skate frequently, like a couple of hours a day on the street you need to replace your deck very often. Do you only skate a few times a week? Replace it every 4 months. Are you more of a cruiser? Your deck could probably last for a couple of years.
If you break decks regularly, check out my post about the strongest boards available. If you only skate mini ramps, chances of chipping are slim so replace your deck roughly every 6 to 12 months.
The only time I chip my nose when I skate mini ramps is when my deck flies out of the mini ramp and decides to land on its nose, it sucks. So like I said, these are just estimates, if you do flips all day you will chip your board sooner. The quality of your board and bad luck really impact the lifespan of your deck.
If your deck lasts longer you also could consider replacing your grip tape. Once your grip becomes slippery you lose eh… grip. When for example your tail breaks you can roll your ankle or take a nasty fall. Your deck loses its structural integrity over time so pressure cracks, chips, and sharp edges will start to appear.
Consider your fellow skaters and bystanders, getting hit can have nasty consequences. Now, if the rest of your skateboard is fine you only have to buy a new deck.
Blank decks may be a bit boring but they are cheap and just as good as any deck. Nowadays I make a random kid happy and giveaway my board.
Depending on how often you skate and your style, skateboard decks can last between 2 weeks and 6 months. If you only skate mini ramp a deck can last for years, technical street skaters can destroy a deck within weeks.
These boards have a carbon or fiberglass layer to increase durability but are a bit more expensive compared to 7ply maple decks. Do you know why they call it a razor tail? R azor tails can leave nasty cuts and often cause injuries. A minor impact on your ankle can mean your skating day is over.
But riding style is only part of the equation in picking out the right size of board for you. Parks, pools, rails, stairs. Choose a board that works well with your body size. Simply put, if you're mini - you'll want to skate a smaller board. If you're a taller adult, you should be skating a full-size board. While most street skateboard decks are similar in length, deck width is one of the more noticeable differences.
And even if. Here is a chart with basic sizing recommendation you can refer to:. Perhaps one of the most important factors in choosing the proper board width is shoe size.
