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.
Here's a video clip sent in by Mike R. at Flowlab of a recent get together (March 25-27). The clip is of some skating down a 5 mile blacktop road in the desert.
Mike says "I saw riders out there from Loaded Boards, Palermo Longboards, Sector 9, Flowlab/Flowboard, and a few other interested riders from SoCal and NorCal. The guy at the end of the clip is from SF, his name is Lloyd and he is 68 years old. Straight bombing with us at 30 MPH+. Super cool guy and a complete inspiration to keep skateboarding for as long as you can."
