Baker Brand Logo Skateboard Deck

The squared-off shape provides a bit more surface area at the nose and tail compared to a traditional rounded profile. This design is generally preferred by skaters who want a more stable platform for locking into ledges and rails.

A steeper concave creates a deeper pocket for your feet, which typically results in better board feel and more leverage when flicking flip tricks. It is a great choice if you prefer a board that feels locked-in rather than flat.

With its 8.5-inch width and squared-off shape, this deck is highly versatile. It is wide enough to feel stable on transition or mini-ramps, but the construction remains responsive enough for technical street skating.

The natural veneer is primarily an aesthetic choice and does not compromise the structural integrity of the deck. It is built with the same durable seven-ply maple construction as Baker's standard decks, ensuring it holds up to regular impact.

For an 8.5-inch deck, you should look for trucks with an axle width of 8.5 inches or a hanger width of approximately 149mm. This ensures your setup is balanced and provides the right amount of stability for the deck's width.
