Michael Stefaun's new Pro Deck from Pool Kings is bringing the bling! Look at that thing! Click it to visit the site. Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well. |

A classic pin model in 47” and 49” lengths. Big and flat, this cruiser is the one that started it all. We have taken a classic and updated it utilizing our tested and proven technologies to make an ultra smooth and responsive pin. This is unlike the old planks you have ridden in the past. The Eclipse is the next generation of the pintail.

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: saturdays since i got it and every chance inbetweenWhat is your setup like?: Randal 180s ... classic k 78a ... 7s nothing fancy by any meansTypical Session Discipline: commuting crusing minor down hill dodging trafficHow much did you pay?: 100 for the deck and a handfull of screwsWhere did you purchase it?: from Glen Helisport, Huntington, NYWhat were the strengths of the deck.: almost surgical carving, pretty stable overall, eats pavement imperfectionsWhat were the weaknesses?: I could see if you were going faster and carving harder wanting more camber, I was a little unstable on a hard fast straight bomb (but thats not really my thing, so I could care less) ... once I get to were I'm going (with a smile on my face) it's a little cumbersome to lug around, the price to pay for having a wider deck with which to do my business.Similar decks you have ridden?: closest thing construction wise, sector 9 tri-lam ?
