POWELL PERALTA - ANDY ANDERSON "HERON" FLIGHT® (9.13" SHAPE 290)
The Andy Anderson "Heron" is one of the most technically advanced skateboard decks ever produced. Designed specifically to Anderson’s exacting requirements, Shape 290 is a multi-functional masterpiece that facilitates everything from freestyle and transition to technical street skating.
This deck is built using FLIGHT® construction, a proprietary Powell Peralta process that makes the board thinner, stronger, and longer-lasting than traditional 7-ply maple.
Technical Specifications & Details
Key Features
-
FLIGHT® Construction: These decks are reinforced with high-strength fiberglass and epoxy, making them as "tough as a tank." They are roughly 25% thinner than a standard 7-ply board but have more than twice the structural strength.
-
Everlasting Pop: Because the fiberglass reinforcement prevents the wood fibers from breaking down, FLIGHT® decks maintain their original "snap" for the entire life of the board—they don't go "soggy."
-
Shape 290 Geometry: A highly specialized shape featuring "egg" influenced rails, a wide platform for stability, and specific tail/nose tapers designed for "primo" tricks and creative footwork.
-
15.0" Wheelbase: Provides a massive amount of stability for transition and high-speed skating, while the construction keeps it light enough for technical flip tricks.
-
Reinforced Stress Points: FLIGHT® decks are virtually impossible to snap under normal skating conditions, making them the most cost-effective choice for skaters who frequently break boards.
-
Artistic Heron Graphic: Features the iconic Heron artwork, representing Andy’s unique, fluid, and naturalistic approach to the environment.
