Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed by rapidly cooling molten lava, known for its multidimensional strength properties. The three basalt layers improve the deck’s structural integrity and stiffness while providing the maple veneers ‘backbone’ that maximizes the wood’s natural resonance. DBX decks are designed for an ultra-responsive, lightweight, and quick feel, maintaining consistent, long-lasting performance throughout the board’s lifespan. They are lighter, thinner, and stronger, with a snappier pop than traditional 7-ply decks. 8.38 x 32.25; 14.5" wheelbase
