He doesn’t fit in because he’s not following it’s false mandates. What Andy is doing is living the creed of what a skateboarder is supposed to be. He’s not conforming nor is he looking for acceptance from conforming, and with that he’s accepting the grief and exclusion that comes with being a true outsider. That is what a real skateboarder is.” -Stacy Peralta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eArtwork by Vernon Courtlandt Johnson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"data table additional-attributes\" id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eDeck Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Deck Shape\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"attribute-help\" data-popup=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Built for comfort, confidence, and versatility, this board offers a spacious platform with a uniquely balanced feel. Despite its unconventional shape, the board is perfectly balanced at the center, allowing flip tricks to rotate cleanly and consistently—unlike many shaped boards that feel thrown forward or back. This true center balance makes tricks more predictable and intuitive.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\n\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Subtle pressure zones in the tail create natural engagement points underfoot, delivering reliable, stable pop that keeps shove-its and 360 shove-its flat and controlled. At just over 9 inches wide with a 15-inch wheelbase, it’s the largest board in the lineup, offering a longer, wider stance that communicates clearly when pivoting and turning. The board has a “loud voice,” guiding movement instead of over-rotating.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\n\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Equal width at both truck mounting points provides exceptional stability for Primo tricks, while refined curves enhance Primo flips. With a large front-foot area and a supportive tail, this board is made for riders who want to skate anything, any way, and feel comfortable doing it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-attribute-name=\"soc_deck_tool\"\u003eAndy Anderson Heron (290)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eDeck Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Deck Construction\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"attribute-help\" data-popup=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Flight Deck® Construction was developed by Powell•Peralta to provide the strength and performance today’s skaters routinely demand of their decks.  The standard 7-Ply construction was developed for skaters of the 1970’s and ’80’s who were then at the forefront of skating.  Since the turn of the 21st century, skaters have greatly expanded the skate terrain and height of tricks being done, routinely breaking their 7 ply decks during landings, and reducing the POP of their 7-ply boards in only a few days of use.  Flight Decks are more than twice as strong as 7-ply decks, have enhanced POP that will remain constant for the life of the desk, are thinner and just as light as a 7 Ply.   They typically last at least 3 times longer than a 7-ply, but cost less than twice as much, making them a bargain.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\n\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Flight Decks allow skaters to improve faster because they almost never break, even if a trick is not landed with the skater’s feet over the trucks, or a car is driven over their skateboard.  This gives skaters the confidence to learn tricks faster, without fear of their deck breaking and causing injury.  The POP enhancing flex and consistent rebound of Flight Decks provides quicker and more responsive performance.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\n\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We recommend Flight Decks for skaters who:\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\n\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\n    \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Want to progress faster with a professional quality deck that offers higher performance, longer life, lower cost per session, and increases confidence\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\n\n    \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Are larger, heavier or progressive skaters who frequently break 7 Plys\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\n\n    \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Want to avoid injury from a deck breaking on landings\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\n\n    \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Just want to have more fun skating and progress faster\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\n\n    \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Skate frequently and want to save money\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\n\n\u0026lt;\/ul\u0026gt;\" data-attribute-name=\"soc_deck_construc\"\u003eFLIGHT®\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\"\u003eDeck Concave\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-th=\"Deck Concave\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"attribute-help\" data-popup=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Stretched K20 concave to allow for a longer 15” - 15.5” wheelbase.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\n\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Mellow double kick concave with great foot feel between the trucks.
