Santa Cruz Winkowski Tribute Deck

While the Winkowski Tribute deck is designed with an 80s-inspired shape that excels at transition and park riding, its wide platform makes it a stable choice for cruising. It is less suited for technical street tricks that require frequent flipping due to its substantial width and weight.

The 10.34-inch width provides a very stable, substantial platform under your feet. This extra surface area is excellent for riders who prioritize comfort and balance, especially when skating bowls, ramps, or simply commuting.

The epoxy resin glue used to bond the seven plies of maple is stronger and lighter than traditional water-based glues. This construction helps the deck maintain its 'pop' for a longer period and provides better resistance against delamination.

Because this deck is significantly wider than a standard street deck, you will likely need wider trucks to match the width and prevent wheel bite. We recommend pairing this with trucks that have an axle width compatible with a 10-inch deck to ensure proper stability.

Yes, it is a great option for beginners who want a stable, forgiving board to learn on. The wider shape offers more room for foot placement, which can help new riders feel more confident while learning to push and turn.
