Powell Peralta Vallely Elephant Flight 8.38 Skateboard Deck

Check out the new Powell Peralta Vallely Elephant Flight 8.38 Skateboard Deck!

Discovered at a Virginia Beach contest by Lance, a young Mike Vallely was asked to join the Powell-Peralta team and quickly rose to fame as a premier street skater. After initially rejecting the Roach graphic, Vallely worked closely with VCJ on an elephant theme. Mike and his elephant deck were both very popular.

FLIGHT™ decks are:

Thinner – as thin as your phone
Stronger – more than twice as strong in our tail break tests
Longer lasting – The epoxy infused, fibre reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives Flight decks ‘everlasting pop’ that doesn’t fade as your Flight deck slowly wears.
Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.
Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times as long as a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.

*Due to the nature of foil during the production process, you may notice some faint lines or subtle inconsistencies. This is completely normal.

**If you don’t plan on skating this deck, please handle carefully when removing from the packaging. The ink/foil adhesion is delicate and can be easily scratched.
