Vallely Elephant Reissue Deck

The Powell-Peralta Mike Vallely Elephant deck represents a pivotal moment in street skating history. Originally released in 1988 after Mike Vallely was discovered by Neil Blender and Lance Mountain, this re-issue faithfully reproduces the iconic VCJ artwork. Built with seven plies of premium US hard rock maple, the deck ensures maximum durability and pop. This limited edition features a unique foil finish, making each piece distinct through subtle variations in the manufacturing process. Designed in Santa Barbara and manufactured with high-quality adhesives, the construction is specifically engineered to prevent delamination. The original 1980s shape and SP3 concave provide a performance-oriented experience that honors the legacy of one of the most influential street skaters.

Are the imperfections on the foil finish considered defects? No, slight variations and minor inconsistencies are a normal result of the foil manufacturing process and are expected on these limited edition decks.

How should the deck be handled to preserve the artwork? The ink and foil adhesion is delicate and can be easily scratched, so it is recommended to handle the deck with extreme care when removing it from the packaging.
