Reynolds Lakeland Deck

A mellow concave provides a flatter surface area under your feet, which many skaters prefer for stability and consistent board feel. It is generally less aggressive than a steep concave, making it a comfortable choice for technical street skating and ledge tricks.

Yes, 8.25 inches is widely considered a 'sweet spot' for skateboarders. It offers enough surface area for stability while remaining narrow enough to flip easily, making it a versatile size for both beginners and experienced skaters.

The OG shape typically features a more traditional, slightly squared-off nose and tail compared to the highly tapered modern shapes. This design provides a bit more surface area for flicking tricks and locking into grinds.

A fully dipped finish means the entire deck is coated in paint, which adds a thin layer of protection to the wood. While it primarily serves an aesthetic purpose, it can offer a slight amount of extra resistance against moisture compared to a raw wood finish.

The seven-ply North American hard rock maple construction is the industry standard for a reason. It provides a reliable balance of stiffness and 'pop' that holds up well for transition skating, though personal preference on flex can vary by rider weight.
