REAL - ISHOD WAIR "CAT SCRATCH" TWIN TAIL DBX (8.5")

The Real Ishod Wair Cat Scratch Twin Tail DBX represents the highest tier of skateboard deck technology. Built for the most demanding technical skaters, this 8.5" deck features Ishod’s signature Twin Tail design—a fully symmetrical shape where the nose and tail are identical in dimensions and concave. Whether you are coming out of a trick regular or switch, the board feels and performs exactly the same.

The standout feature of this model is the DBX construction, which integrates volcanic Basalt into the wood layup. This isn't just about strength; it is about creating a lighter, thinner, and more responsive board that holds its "new board" pop significantly longer than traditional 7-ply decks.

What is Basalt & Why Use It?

Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed from rapidly cooling lava. In DBX construction, three layers of interwoven Basalt are integrated with four standard-thickness interior veneers and two thinner face veneers.

• Structural Backbone: The basalt layers provide a rigid "backbone" that maximizes the maple’s natural resonance.

• Superior Pop: Unlike traditional composites that can feel "dead," DBX is designed for an ultra-responsive and quick feel. It is lighter, thinner, and stronger than a standard 7-ply.

• Long-Lasting Performance: Basalt resists the internal breakdown of wood fibers, ensuring the deck maintains a snappier pop throughout its entire lifespan.

• Precision Pressing: Each deck is hand-laid and precision-pressed in single molds, ensuring every board meets Ishod’s exact specifications without the variance found in multi-deck presses.

Key Features

• Fully Symmetrical Twin Tail: Removes the guesswork. The nose and tail feature identical height, length, and concave, offering total consistency for technical switch skating.

• Advanced DBX Tech: Priority is placed on response and feel. This board is engineered to be more "flickable" while offering the impact resistance needed for heavy street gaps.

• Ishod Wair Custom Specs: The 8.5" width paired with a stable 14.5" wheelbase provides a massive landing platform and a reliable center of gravity for both park and street.

• Impact Resistance: The volcanic basalt layers help prevent pressure cracks and snapping, making it the most durable performance deck in the Real catalog.

• Premium "Cat Scratch" Art: A bold, high-contrast graphic that mirrors the aggressive and technical nature of the technology inside the board.

Product Summary

The Real Ishod 8.5" Twin Tail DBX is a revolutionary piece of hardware. By replacing traditional wood layers with volcanic Basalt, Real has created a deck that stays fresh long after others have gone soft. If you want a board that is thinner, lighter, and possesses a "perma-pop" feel, the Ishod DBX is the ultimate choice for the modern, high-performance skater.
