The Baker Deck Riley Hawk Fried Beast (8.0) is a professional-grade skateboard deck that blends classic Baker performance with bold, psychedelic artwork inspired by Riley Hawk's creative personality and unique approach to street skating. Built from traditional 7-ply North American Hard Rock Maple and manufactured by BBS Manufacturing, this deck delivers the durability, crisp pop, and reliable feel Baker has become known for. Designed with Baker's signature O.G. shape and mellow concave, it offers predictable flip control and responsive handling, making it an excellent choice for technical street skating, park sessions, and everyday riding.

The artwork on the Baker Deck Riley Hawk Fried Beast (8.0) is colorful, surreal, and unmistakably psychedelic. A series of concentric rainbow waves flows vertically down the deck, creating the illusion of movement around three illustrated creatures. At the top, a snarling wolf-like beast with glowing yellow eyes emerges from a blue aura, while the center features a striking green cobra with its hood spread wide and fangs exposed. Near the tail, a prehistoric reptilian creature resembling a frilled dinosaur roars upward with vivid green, yellow, and orange tones. The hand-painted style gives the graphic a vintage psychedelic feel that stands apart from traditional skateboard graphics. The top veneer features a clean transparent blue stain with a simple HAWK logo printed between the truck mounting holes, providing a minimalist contrast to the vibrant bottom graphic.

At 8.0 inches wide, 31.375 inches long, and with a 14.0-inch wheelbase, this deck is ideal for skaters who prefer quick response and technical precision. The narrower width makes flip tricks, ledge skating, and manual combinations feel effortless, while the mellow concave provides consistent board feel without being overly aggressive. The premium maple construction delivers lasting strength and dependable pop whether you're skating handrails, ledges, transition, or your local park.

Professional skateboarder Riley Hawk has built an impressive career entirely on his own merits. Born in Carlsbad, California, Riley intentionally forged a different path than his father, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, by dedicating himself to street skating rather than vert. His breakthrough came through filming gritty video parts with the influential Shep Dawgs crew before joining Baker Skateboards, where founder Andrew Reynolds recognized his talent and officially turned him professional on his 21st birthday in 2013. Since then, Riley has become one of Baker's most respected riders while also earning sponsorships from Lakai Footwear, Independent Trucks, and Spitfire Wheels. Outside skateboarding, Riley is the frontman of the punk rock band Warish and has built a reputation as both a musician and creative entrepreneur, making him one of skateboarding's most well-rounded personalities.

Founded by skateboarding icon Andrew Reynolds in 2000, Baker Skateboards has remained one of the most influential brands in street skateboarding. Known for its legendary team, premium construction, and unapologetic approach to skate culture, Baker continues to produce boards trusted by professionals and everyday skaters alike. The Baker Deck Riley Hawk Fried Beast (8.0) reflects that heritage by combining top-tier craftsmanship with artwork that celebrates creativity, individuality, and skateboarding's rebellious spirit.

Whether you're skating technical ledges in Monrovia, flowing through parks in Pasadena, cruising the streets of Claremont, or filming lines throughout the San Gabriel Valley, this deck provides the lightweight feel, responsive pop, and premium durability needed to progress your skating with confidence.
