The Quasi Robert Pollard "Zodiac Companion" Deck features original artwork by Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices, on a full dip-painted board. It's an 8.5" x 32.25" deck on Quasi's Q38 shape with a 14.5" wheelbase, so it's a stable, do-it-all size that works for street, park, and transition. It's pressed at BBS.

More Info
About Robert Pollard
Before he was an indie rock legend, Pollard was a fourth-grade teacher. For years, he taught school by day and wrote and recorded songs with Guided by Voices on the side. The band's 1992 album Propeller started turning heads, and once Matador Records took notice, Pollard was finally able to quit his day job and do music full time. It's a reminder that some of the best stuff comes from people doing what they love on their own terms, which is pretty much the skate way too.

- 8.5" width: Extra foot room and stability without feeling clunky.
- 14.5" wheelbase: Long and stable, so it feels locked in at speed.
- Made at BBS: Pressed at BBS for consistent quality.
- Assorted: Colors vary, so every deck is a little different.
