Mason Silva, Grant Taylor and Mike Anderson for DBX Deck Construction.

The new DBX decks were designed for an ultra-responsive, light, and quick feel with lasting consistency throughout the lifetime of the board. They are lighter, thinner, and stronger than traditional 7-ply decks. Unlike typical composite decks focused solely on strength, DBX decks are designed not only for strength but also with an emphasis on response, feel, pop, and overall lasting performance over the life of your board. Constructed using 3 layers of interwoven basalt with 4 standard-thickness interior veneers, and 2 thinner face veneers. Hand-laid up and precision-pressed in single molds to meet exact specs. WHAT IS BASALT - AND WHY USE IT ON A SKATEBOARD DECK? Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed by rapidly cooling molten lava, known for its multidimensional strength properties. The 3 basalt layers improve the deck’s structural integrity and stiffness while giving the maple veneers a ‘backbone’ that maximizes the wood’s natural resonance.
