Santa Cruz SMA Natas Panther Reissue Deck

It is built for both. While the white dip finish makes it an excellent canvas for art, the seven-ply North American maple construction and epoxy pressing provide the durability and pop required for active street or park skating.

Because the deck features a full white dip finish, it accepts most standard art mediums well. Acrylic paint pens, spray paint, and permanent markers all adhere effectively, though you may want to apply a clear coat sealant afterward if you plan on skating it.

This is a significantly wider deck than a traditional popsicle shape, offering a stable, substantial platform for your feet. It is ideal for transition skating, cruising, or riders who prefer more surface area for tricks and landings.

A 15-inch wheelbase is relatively standard for a deck of this size, providing a balanced feel that isn't too twitchy or too sluggish. It offers a predictable turning radius that feels comfortable for both carving and general street maneuvers.

Epoxy resin is stronger and lighter than traditional water-based glues. Using it to press the seven plies of maple results in a stiffer, more responsive deck that maintains its pop for longer, even after heavy use.
