The Black Label Deck Elijah Akerley 911 Custom Egg (9.0) combines a bold, emergency-inspired graphic with the functional design of a modern shaped skateboard. Measuring 9.0 inches wide and 32.2 inches long, this Elijah Akerley signature model features Black Label's custom tapered egg shape, traditional 7-ply hardwood maple construction, and original artwork by company founder John Lucero. Designed for skaters who appreciate wider boards without sacrificing maneuverability, the 911 Custom Egg delivers a versatile platform for aggressive street skating, slappy grinds, banks, ditches, and transition skating.
The bottom graphic features a vivid fluorescent orange background with contrasting black, yellow, and hot pink artwork inspired by emergency vehicle imagery. Near the nose, Black Label's signature black flame logo stands prominently against the orange finish. Below it, a stylized black vehicle with a bright pink windshield and yellow headlights casts two oversized yellow beams toward a silhouetted figure bending down beside a pink ball. Vertical lettering along the edges includes "EMERGENCY 911," reinforcing the graphic's unusual, slightly unsettling visual theme. Elijah Akerley's name appears in bold black lettering toward the tail, separated from the lower section by horizontal black stripes. A black panel finishes the bottom of the deck, featuring the circular Black Label flame emblem printed in yellow.
The top of the deck pictured features a bright lime-green stained wood veneer, allowing the natural maple grain to remain visible beneath the color. A small circular Black Label emblem sits between the front truck mounting holes, while a larger black flame logo surrounded by the company's "Black Label Skateboards Since 1988" lettering appears near the center. The clean top design contrasts sharply with the heavily illustrated bottom, giving the board two distinctly different appearances. Wood stains are assorted and may vary from the photographs, making each deck slightly different in its final appearance.
The custom 9.0-inch Egg Shape offers a wider standing platform through the center of the board while gradually tapering toward the nose and tail. This geometry provides extra room for foot placement without the full bulk of a consistently wide popsicle shape. Its 32.2-inch length and approximately 14.38-inch wheelbase create a balanced setup that accommodates both technical street skating and higher-speed approaches. The 7.2-inch nose and 6.75-inch tail provide functional leverage for ollies, flip tricks, and directional control, while the rounded egg profile makes the board particularly appealing to skaters who enjoy unconventional shapes.
Constructed from traditional 7-ply hardwood Canadian maple laminate, the deck combines strength, stiffness, and reliable pop with the distinctive feel of Black Label's shaped boards. The wider platform provides additional stability when landing tricks, grinding curbs, or navigating uneven concrete, while the tapered ends help maintain a more manageable feel than many traditional old-school decks. Whether you're skating neighborhood curbs around Monrovia and Arcadia, finding street spots through Pasadena and Alhambra, or riding the bowls and banks around the San Gabriel Valley, this shape offers a different approach to everyday skateboarding.
Elijah Akerley is a professional skateboarder originally from Lewiston, Maine, who developed his reputation through an uncompromising, high-speed approach to street skating. After relocating to San Francisco as a teenager, Akerley immersed himself in a skate scene known for steep hills, rough pavement, demanding street spots, and fast-moving lines. His skating reflects those surroundings, emphasizing speed, commitment, and the willingness to charge obstacles that many skaters would approach more cautiously. Rather than focusing exclusively on conventional technical combinations, Akerley brings an unpredictable energy to his skating, combining powerful tricks with raw street terrain and an unmistakable East Coast influence.
Akerley's connection with Black Label developed after founder John Lucero took notice of his street footage. His aggressive approach and independent attitude fit naturally with a brand that has consistently supported skateboarders who follow their own direction. Akerley has appeared in Black Label projects including Light The Match alongside teammate Jake Reuter and In Nothing We Trust, further establishing himself as an important part of the company's modern team. His signature boards reflect both his personal approach to skateboarding and Black Label's willingness to experiment with unconventional graphics and shapes.
Founded in 1988 by professional skateboarder and artist John Lucero, Black Label Skateboards remains one of the most recognizable independently rooted companies in skateboarding. Lucero helped shape modern street skating during the 1980s and built Black Label around creative freedom, distinctive artwork, and support for skateboarders who resist following trends. Over the decades, the brand has been associated with influential riders including John Cardiel, Jeff Grosso, Jason Adams, Salman Agah, and many others. The Elijah Akerley 911 Custom Egg continues that tradition, bringing together original Lucero artwork, a functional shaped deck, and the attitude that has defined Black Label for nearly four decades.
The Black Label Elijah Akerley 911 Custom Egg measures 9.0 inches wide by 32.2 inches long with a 14.38-inch wheelbase, 7.2-inch nose, and 6.75-inch tail. It features a tapered egg shape, traditional 7-ply hardwood maple construction, original John Lucero artwork, and assorted wood-stained veneers. With its highly visible orange 911 graphic and versatile wider shape, this signature pro deck is a solid option for skaters looking for something beyond a conventional popsicle board. Grip tape is not included.
