Real Deck Team Synthetic Peace (8.5) delivers a clean balance of futuristic artwork and classic REAL Skateboards construction, built on a versatile 8.5" shape made for everything from fast street lines to rough transition sessions. The graphic sits on a deep navy blue background framed by a detailed barbed-wire border running the full perimeter of the deck, giving the entire board a sharp, controlled look without feeling overworked.
At the center of the graphic, a glowing mechanical hand rises upward with dripping synthetic details and segmented robotic fingers, holding a floating white dove wrapped in barbed wire. The dove’s wings explode outward with layered metallic tones of silver, gold, and pale blue, creating a strong contrast against the dark background. The imagery feels equal parts hopeful and chaotic — a visual style that fits naturally into the raw energy of modern skateboarding. Small details throughout the illustration, including the subtle paint drips and chrome-style highlights, give the deck a polished but aggressive feel whether it’s hanging on a wall or getting worked at a crusty SGV curb spot.
The top of the deck features a clean navy veneer with the classic REAL logo printed near the nose in an old-English inspired type treatment. The shape itself is a highly functional all-around size, measuring 8.50" wide by 31.80" long with a 14.25" wheelbase, giving it stable control for bigger terrain while still feeling responsive enough for technical skating. Traditional maple construction keeps the board feeling familiar underfoot with reliable pop and durability.
Founded by Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud under Deluxe Distribution in the early ‘90s, REAL Skateboards has remained one of skateboarding’s most respected core brands by consistently backing authentic skating and timeless graphics instead of trends. From SF streets to local sessions throughout the San Gabriel Valley, REAL boards have always carried a reputation for solid wood, clean shapes, and graphics that feel rooted in skate culture rather than marketing.
The Real Deck Team Synthetic Peace (8.5) fits naturally into that legacy — bold artwork, functional dimensions, and a graphic that stands out without trying too hard. Whether it’s getting set up for long pushes through Alhambra, ledge sessions in Pasadena, or heavy park skating closer to the foothills, this one feels right at home anywhere real skateboarding happens.
