Opera Skateboards Radiate EX7 Deck

The EX7 construction refers to the use of high-strength epoxy glue rather than standard water-based glues. This creates a stiffer, more rigid deck that retains its pop longer and resists warping better than traditional 7-ply boards.

This deck is suitable for any skill level. While the high-quality North American Maple and epoxy construction are designed for the demands of advanced street and park skating, the medium concave and kick make it a very approachable, balanced shape for beginners as well.

At 10 inches wide, this is a wider deck that provides a stable, substantial platform for your feet. It is excellent for transition skating, cruising, or skaters who prefer more surface area for landing tricks, though it will feel heavier and slower to flip than a narrower 8-inch deck.

No, the graphic application does not impact the structural integrity of the deck. It is purely aesthetic, designed to stand out visually while the underlying 7-ply maple construction handles the actual wear and tear of skating.

Individual pressing ensures that each deck receives consistent pressure during the bonding process. This prevents the inconsistencies often found in mass-produced decks, resulting in a more uniform shape, better structural integrity, and a more predictable feel under your feet.
