Key Features
- Sage Elsesser Pro Model: Custom designed for Sage Elsesser, one of street skating's most effortless stylists, offering a shape that supports a smooth yet technical approach.
- Refined Shape #2: Unlike the aggressive, shovel-nosed Shape #1, this is a traditional popsicle shape with a more rounded nose and tail, making it a familiar transition for most skaters.
- Versatile 8.38" Width: Offers a perfect balance of stability and agility, providing more foot room than an 8.25" while remaining easier to flip than a full 8.5".
- Mellow to Medium Concave: Shape #2 features a less steep concave compared to FA's more aggressive molds, offering a comfortable, predictable feel underfoot right out of the wrapper.
- Premium BBS Woodshop Quality: Pressed at the world-renowned Generator factory using high-quality veneers and epoxy resins for maximum structural integrity.
- Split Wood Veneer Aesthetic: The "Hair Split" graphic is applied over various stained plies, giving the deck a premium, textured look that varies from board to board.
