Please keep producing!!! Love the 17 inch wheelbase making this the perfect deck to bomb a hill down to a ditch or pool so you can shred everything all day on one setup!! (Posted on 9/17/2021)

What a board, now if I could only buy a backup Review by Alex I

I’ve been riding this for a couple of months now, my closest spot to the house is a fun little hill right next to a skatepark with a couple of bowls and a pool.

The extra couple of inches on the wheelbase really help me stay balanced during slides, specially speedy backside 180s that I do often.
After a few runs on the hill I go skate the pool for a bit then start it all over again.

I feel very confident yet agile on this deck, I ride it with Indy 159s and switch between g slides and a11 yuppie powerslide wheels.

I just wish they’d make more, I struggled to find a seller for the one I have and would like to have a backup.

This may very well be the most balanced “big skateboard” I’ve ever tried, big up to JM and Powell for making them. (Posted on 6/4/2021)

Almost perfect board Review by CaliSkate

Rating

This is an amazing deck, flight decks are the way to go hands down. Light with pop and stability. Like a commenter wrote earlier the length is such an upside. I am a taller skater at 6-3 and the added stability is a game-changer.. i cant ride anything in the 31-32 range and longer.

My only knock against this board is strictly my personal preferences. I would like to see a bit of a steeper concave, and personally at 34, and 16 to 16.5 wheelbase would be ideal. I feel like its a bit tougher to throw spins, and the extra length shrinks the balance point making manuals much harder to hold.

aside from those personal prefs, i would still say its the best board i have owned. I would just hope powell starts to provide more options in the longer lengths.

Duran Flight Deck Review by Adam Jackson

Rating

The Ben Hatchell was my first flight deck. Compared to a 7 ply maple, the flight deck is much stronger & lighter with better pop for sure. The downside is there is no flexibility on the deck itself & the concave above the wheels feels taller making foot re-positioning feel much different. Flight deck to flight deck the Duran's additional length allows for a much more comfortable wider stance, better balance, maple deck feel for foot re-positioning & less wobble downhill at 25 mph+. Both flight decks have the exact same top speed however the Duran is noticeably slower on flat ground and slight downhill runs. I ran Indy 149's on both decks with reds on Cabellaro's on the exact same terrain. If you are 6'1"+ you will love the way the Duran feels. I Highly recommend this deck. (Posted on 3/15/2021)
