The Krooked Team Mermaid DBX Deck in Light Blue puts Krooked's Mermaid graphic on Deluxe's DBX construction, a serious upgrade over a regular 7-ply. It's lighter, thinner, and stronger, with a quick, snappy feel that stays consistent for the life of the board. At 8.38" x 32.25" with a long 14.5" wheelbase, it's a stable, versatile board that's still quick enough for the streets.

More Info
Why We Like It
- Deluxe Basalt Construction (DBX): Three layers of interwoven basalt pressed between maple veneers make it lighter, thinner, and stronger than a standard 7-ply.
- Pop that lasts: The basalt keeps the board feeling fresh and responsive longer, so it doesn't go soggy as fast.
- 8.38" width: A versatile in-between size, a little roomier than an 8.25" while staying quicker than an 8.5".
- 14.5" wheelbase: Long and stable, so it feels locked in at speed and on big landings.
- Mermaid graphic: Classic Krooked art in light blue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DBX construction?
DBX is Deluxe's Basalt Construction. Three layers of interwoven basalt are pressed with four standard maple veneers inside and two thinner face veneers, which makes the deck lighter, thinner, and stronger than a regular 7-ply.
Why pay more for a DBX deck?
It lasts longer and keeps its pop. Regular decks get soft over time, while DBX boards stay quick and responsive much longer.
What size is it?
It's 8.38" wide by 32.25" long with a 14.5" wheelbase.
Does it come in other colors or sizes?
Yep. We also carry the Krooked Mermaid DBX in black (8.25") and cream (8.5").
What trucks should I run on it?
Go with something around an 8.25" to 8.5" axle, like Independent 144s for a quicker feel or 149s for more stability.
Does it come with grip tape?
Nope, deck only. Grab some grip here, or we can set it up for you at the shop.
