The World Industries Mike Vallely Elephant on the Edge R7 Skateboard Deck brings the elephant graphic back on its original shape. At 9.75″ wide by 30.75″ long with a 15.0″ wheelbase, it gives you plenty of room to move your feet on a compact old-school outline. It’s a natural fit for a wide setup you can take to the bowl, cruise around town or ride at the park.
World Industries builds this deck with Resin 7 construction, pressing seven plies of 100% North American maple with epoxy glue. Each deck is pressed individually to keep the shape consistent from one deck to the next. The R7 layup is designed to deliver more strength than conventional seven-ply construction, with strong pop and a long deck life.
The original outline gives the Elephant on the Edge its character as soon as you see it from the top, while the graphic makes it instantly recognizable from underneath. At 9.75″ across, there’s room to plant your feet when setting up for a carve or shifting your stance on transition. The 15.0″ wheelbase gives you a stable platform to work with when carrying speed through a bowl. Whether you’re setting it up for regular sessions or adding a Vallely deck to your World Industries collection, the original shape is a big part of the appeal.
