Powell Peralta® decks are made in the USA at our own skateboard manufacturing factory in Santa Barbara, CA using U.S. hard rock maple, AirLam fused with Type 1 glue and are warranted against delamination for their useful life.
The Roach (or Bug) graphic was originally designed by VCJ in 1987 and offered to Mike Vallely for his first pro model. Mike rejected the idea and wanted an elephant instead. So, it became a "non-pro" generic deck.

★★★★★Rob S.This by far is one of the premier skate shops online. The selection and customer service is second to none. I have ordered multiple times and am never disappointed. They take care in packaging and making sure you are satisfied with your order.

★★★★★Joel R.After buying fake bones bearings off eBay from a different seller a long time ago I was skeptical on buying any more bearings online but I wanted to give eBay another chance and give this company a try. Shipping was fast and the bearings I received were definitely real this time. Definitely would shop online here again in the future.
