Powell Peralta Geegah Ripper Deck

While this deck is a faithful reproduction of an 80s classic, it is built with modern 7-ply hard rock maple construction. It is fully functional and durable enough to ride, though its geometry and width are better suited for transition skating, cruising, or park riding rather than technical street tricks.

This deck features the classic 2.5-inch hole spacing. Most modern trucks are drilled with a universal pattern that accommodates both new and old school setups, but you should double-check your truck baseplate specifications to ensure they have the inner set of holes.

The 9.75-inch width provides a significantly larger, more stable platform for your feet compared to a standard 8.0 or 8.25-inch popsicle deck. You will find it offers more confidence when dropping into bowls or cruising, though it will feel heavier and less nimble for flip tricks.

Yes, it features a functional tail, though it is shaped differently than a modern popsicle deck. It is designed for the style of riding popular in the 80s, which prioritizes stability and transition flow over the symmetrical pop required for modern street skating.

Powell Peralta has updated the manufacturing to modern standards, so while the shape and graphic are exact replicas, the concave is slightly more refined for durability and performance. It maintains the vintage feel while offering the consistency you expect from a new board.
