The 7.5″ Powell Peralta Cab Dragon Birch deck is made from a strong, light, hard yellow birch. These layers are then fused together with water-resistant glue in proprietary Powell-Peralta AirLam presses. This method undoubtedly ensures maximum stiffness, strength, pop, and durability.
In addition, this deck not only features the shape 191, but also features Powell Peralta’s concave K16. The mellow double kick concave is great for street or transition skating!
After placing 3rd overall in the Gold Cup Series and voted “Rookie of the Year” in 1980, Steve Caballero had proven he was ready for a pro signature model of his own. He was initially offered a simple propeller/skull nose-art graphic but rejected it. Steve submitted some sketches of his own for consideration, one of which was a crouching dragon, and that’s the direction they pursued. Artist VCJ reworked the design a couple times before laying down the final ink. The deck was first released in December 1980 and the graphic was so well received it wasn’t replaced until 1986.
