The Powell Peralta Bucky Lasek Tortoise Flight deck is a special release celebrating Bucky Lasek’s return to the team.
These FLIGHT™ decks from Powell Peralta redefine the standards of strength and thinness compared to traditional 7-ply decks. Once you start riding a Flight deck, you’ll notice a significant difference in your skating. They empower you to push your boundaries, enabling higher ollies, quicker flips, and easier execution of tricks. Plus, they have a much longer lifespan than the average maple 7-ply deck.
In terms of construction, the Powell Peralta Lasek Tortoise Flight deck is as thin as a smartphone yet exhibits over double the strength in break tests conducted by Powell Peralta. The secret lies in its epoxy infused, fiber-reinforced structure, which is remarkably resistant to breaking. This innovative construction not only ensures durability but also provides a consistent “everlasting pop” that doesn’t diminish over time.
