7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy - making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.

In the late 70s and early 80s, Santa Cruz led the charge from flat decks with little or no concave to the infamous tech concaves of the late 80s. Early 80s concave is based off of this evolution, with defined, mellow side-to-side concave and slight tail kick that was found on Santa Cruz's Street Skate, RS/C, and pro models like the Malba Tombstone.
