9.5 x 32.0 - Wheelbase 14.5-15.0 - with Wheel Wells
Stronger than industry 7-ply. Strong pop. Long deck life.
The Checker Beast - EX7 Deck - 9.5 in detail. Opera decks are built on the EX7 press - 7-ply North American maple with epoxy glue, individually pressed - so the board under the graphic is as considered as the graphic itself.
At 9.5" this is a wide-platform board - more wood underfoot for transition, bowls and bigger feet. It lives in the wide decks family alongside the Fatties shapes. Finish the setup with grip and wheels from the Opera range, and check the size guide if you are between widths.
Opera treats a deck the way its name suggests - a performance of one. One rider, one line, one trick attempted alone and landed in front of everyone. The graphic gallery changes season to season; the press underneath does not, which is exactly the balance a board brand should strike.
See the whole gallery on the Skateboard Decks wall, meet the riders on the team page, or - if wide platforms are your thing - go straight to the wide decks family and see what else lives out past nine inches.
