Experience the raw power of Zion Wright’s signature style with the Real Zion Bad Gator 8.5 Heavyweight.

The "Bad Gator" graphic is finished with a sophisticated matte texture and sits atop a vibrant green bottom veneer, making it as visually striking as it is durable.
Technical Specifications & Dimensions
Key Features
-
Heavyweight Construction: Engineered with reinforced, thicker X-band cross-plys. This adds extra rigidity and impact resistance, perfect for stair sets, gaps, and heavy transitions.
-
Zion Wright Pro Model: Custom shape and specs approved by Zion Wright to handle his versatile "all-terrain" approach to skateboarding.
-
Premium Matte Finish: Unlike traditional glossy decks, the "Bad Gator" features a high-end matte top coat that gives the graphic a unique, non-reflective look.
-
Green Bottom Veneer: The exposed wood grain on the bottom ply features a deep green stain, ensuring the board looks great even as the graphic starts to slide.
-
R1 Construction Integrity: While "Heavyweight," this deck still maintains the classic R1 press consistency, ensuring a long-lasting, snappy life cycle.
Performance Note: If you find yourself snapping standard 7-ply decks frequently, the Heavyweight X-Bands provide that extra layer of security needed for high-impact street and park sessions.
