TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A board with a smaller environmental impact!
The wood that we use is FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council). This certification guarantees that the forest has been managed so as to preserve biodiversity and benefit local people and workers, while ensuring its economic viability.
In addition, we use Henkel's highly effective, water-based glue, which is less polluting than epoxy resins.
Wood and pop quality

The wood used for this deck is FSC certified (sourced from managed forests)
The deck is cold pressed for better robustness.

One deck per mould (single deck press)
Our maple decks are cold pressed, one by one. This means that each mould contains only one deck at a time during pressing. This allows for optimal pressure distribution to ensure that each deck has the exact same shape and concave. This is an advantage for those who always want to skateboard with the same shape.
How much does the Skateboard Deck with Grip DK100 8.5" weigh?
About 1.2 kg. Because the decks are hand sanded and the density of each ply of wood may be different, the weight of each deck may vary slightly. Of course, the deck is only one component that determines the weight of your skateboard. The wheel size and trucks also have a strong impact.
Behind the design: DK100 - making a board with the best value-for-money on the market
For the DK100 models, we designed the sleekest deck possible to make it very affordable to those on a budget or skaters that break a lot of boards.
We therefore removed everything we could without changing how the deck works. No more graphics, no coloured folds in the 7 layers of maple that make up the deck and the technical info is concentrated on a simple sticker. The deck comes taped to lower costs.
How to choose the right deck size
A skateboard deck should be chosen based on the width you need. A narrower deck means easier handling (great for beginners and shorter riders). The wider the deck, the more stable it is and the safer your landings, making this type of deck good for taller skateboarders or those who like to ride the half-pipes. Sizes are given in inches. 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
The length and wheelbase also have a major impact on deck handling and stability
