Explore the Phantom Flyer Deck: a revolutionary blend of vintage and contemporary skateboarding elements. This deck-only offering is ready for action with pre-installed die-cut grip tape.
This board is a nod to a unique skateboarding era, styled as if it emerged from an alternate universe where the 60’s steel and clay wheel boards took a different evolutionary path, yet retained their classic style. It draws design inspiration from the iconic 60’s Rinky Dink skateboard and a distinctive 1956 DIY surfboard.
The Phantom Flyer is designed for performance and style. It features custom round wheel wells, accommodating narrower trucks for enhanced clearance during sharp turns. The deck itself presents a unique shape with a sharper top edge and a more rounded bottom. The concave, along with the nose and tail kick, are on the milder side, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable ride.
Distinct from typical cruiser boards, it boasts a standard-length tail and a longer nose, offering versatility for a range of skateboarding activities.
The deck showcases beautiful artwork by Mike Guerrero, whose 50’s/60’s surf and skate art style is a perfect match for this board.
Consider pairing it with the new Moon Beams rails, designed to fit the deck’s unique rounded wheel wells with tapered ends, adding both protection and flair.
The Phantom Flyer Deck is more than just a skateboard; it’s a piece of skateboarding history reimagined for the modern rider.

Blockhead Skateboards, which took its roots in a Northern California garage in 1985 under the leadership of Dave Bergthold, had a remarkable journey that spanned approximately a decade. During this period, CALSTREETS played a crucial role in distributing Blockhead skates throughout Canada in the '80s. This collaboration led to the forging of enduring friendships, unforgettable moments, the launch of successful careers, the creation of iconic skate ramps, and a wealth of unforgettable skateboarding experiences.
The impact of Blockhead on the skateboarding world was profound and multifaceted. Be it the original and striking artwork by Ron Cameron, the intense and heated sessions on 'The Blockhead Ramp,' or the numerous talented individuals who emerged from this era to leave their mark on the skateboard industry as professionals and industry shapers, Blockhead's legacy remains deeply ingrained in the fabric of skateboarding history.
