        FLIGHT™ decks are thin, strong and long lasting. The epoxy infused, fibre reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking. This structure gives Flight decks "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as the deck slowly wears with usage. Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap. A superior performing skateboard.

        Due to the nature of some specialised inks and metallic foils used in the production process, there may be subtle variations and minor imperfections unique to each skateboard.

        Powell-Peralta x Mike Vallely "Elephant" Artwork;
        The Vallely "Elephant" graphic was Powell Peralta's first pro-signature deck graphic for Mike Vallely.
        Discovered at a Virginia Beach skate contest by Neil Blender and Lance Mountain, 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 "Vallely Roach" (or "Bug") graphic designed by Powell Peralta artist Vernon Courtland Johnson (VCJ) in 1987, Vallely worked with VCJ on a Elephant theme. The Elephant graphic featured on Mike Vallely's first pro-model deck of 1988. 
        A iconic Powell Peralta graphic, defining the 1980's skate aesthetic.

        Graphics, colours, veneers and stains may vary slightly from images.
        Griptape included.
