Premium BBS Woodshop Engineering & Q63 Shape Architecture
Every dimensional coordinate of the "Proto" 8.5" deck is calculated to maximize your technical control, leverage your pop, and look striking in the streets:
-
Manufactured at BBS (Generator): Widely recognized by core skateboarders as the absolute gold standard of modern skateboard manufacturing. BBS presses using premium North American maple veneers bonded with high-grade, low-moisture resins. This produces an incredibly stiff, snappy deck that resists chipping and retains its "new board pop" far longer than standard imports.
-
The Custom Q63 Shape Spec: Offering a streamlined 31.75" length paired with a quick-snapping 14.25" wheelbase, the Q63 shape provides an exceptionally agile feel for an 8.5" width. The compact wheelbase allows for rapid pivot responses, making the board highly nimble for quick technical street lines, wallies, and rapid ledge rotations.
-
The 8.5" Street & Park Blueprint: Measuring 8.5" wide, this dimension is the premier sweet spot for skaters who want a solid, dependable landing platform. It offers plenty of room underfoot to control transition transitions, high-speed street gaps, and heavy bowl carves while maintaining an agile flick.
-
Assorted Top & Bottom Veneer Plies: True to the premium heritage of independent skate brands, each deck features unique, random wood stain variations on the top ply and center plies, making every individual board slightly distinct from the next.
