POOL KING / ALVA – Pool King Skateboards and Power Station Project, which is a collaboration with Tony Alva, are producing the ‘Lost Models’ of authentic Alva decks 8.5 and 9.25 respectively and 2 wheel sizes. The first of 2 new decks produced form the original Master Templates discovered in Orange County, CA. This deck was produced as a batch of 100 in 1978 and as the boards and sizes changed rapidly, it was never produced as the sizes grew to the wide models and beyond. Chuck Hults painstakingly hand shaped these decks exactly how they were originally done! The first 50 are handsigned by Tony and available on a super limited basis! http://www.poolkingskateboards.com/

The competition’s head-to-head format stretches the athletic limits of these competitors and showcases the pros’ innovation and versatility with a bevy of awe-inspiring tricks.
