This skateboard deck by Close Up is released in a small production run. It is made from 7 plies of maple, measures 8.375" in width, and features a medium concave. The dark background gives the design a classic look. The slogan “Don’t Compete” has always been Close Up’s motto, as skateboarding should be about having fun, bringing the community together, and not ending up in Olympic competition. The deck is pressed in Europe by HLC, with the graphic printed onto the wood in France. A clear statement of European manufacturing quality, crafted with great attention to detail and the highest standards of workmanship, far removed from anonymous mass production.
