Chocolate Trahan Parliament Skateboard Deck

An 8.5-inch deck is a versatile, mid-to-wide size. It offers a stable platform for transition skating and landing flip tricks, making it a great choice if you prefer a bit more foot space than a standard 8.0 or 8.25 deck.

This deck is constructed from maple, which is the industry standard for skateboard manufacturing. Maple is chosen for its balance of durability, flexibility, and pop, ensuring the board holds up well under the impact of street and park skating.
