The Creature Deck Team Possessed Stumps (8.7) is a hauntingly aggressive addition to Creature Skateboards' Stumps series, blending eerie artwork with a highly functional shape designed for modern skateboarding. Built on Creature's SC-419 shape, this deck measures 8.7" wide by 31.825" long with a compact 14.0" wheelbase, creating a uniquely responsive ride that feels surprisingly nimble for a wider board. Whether you're charging transitions, attacking rough terrain, or carving through bowls, the shorter wheelbase helps keep the board lively and quick beneath your feet.
The graphic embraces Creature's signature horror-inspired aesthetic. Set against a dark stained woodgrain veneer, the bottom graphic features a terrifying possessed face emerging from swirling flames, screaming upward beneath a pair of sinister glowing eyes that appear to watch from the shadows above. The artwork is rendered in a striking yellow-gold ink that sharply contrasts against the black stained background, giving the deck an aged occult poster feel. The iconic Creature logo drips beneath the possessed figure in a distressed horror-style font, reinforcing the brand's long-standing connection to skateboarding's darker and more rebellious side. On the top graphic, a smaller possessed face logo appears near the front truck bolts, while a circular Creature emblem sits closer to the rear truck mounting area, maintaining the deck's eerie theme without overwhelming the clean stained veneer.
Behind Creature Skateboards stands Santa Cruz Skateboards' parent company, NHS, Inc., one of the most influential organizations in skateboarding history. Since launching in the mid-1990s, Creature has carved out its own identity through heavy graphics, powerful team riders, and a relentless focus on transition, pool, and all-terrain skateboarding. Known for embracing skateboarding's raw and uncompromising spirit, Creature has built a loyal following among skaters who appreciate both performance and distinctive artwork.
Performance is where the Possessed Stumps truly comes alive. The wider 8.7" platform provides stability and confidence, while the shortened wheelbase keeps the board agile during turns, airs, and quick direction changes. Creature's 3D Concave utilizes a mellow overall concave profile combined with symmetrical nose and tail kicks, subtle pocketing near the kicks, and a continuous curve through the deck. This design creates a comfortable foot placement while offering enhanced control during flip tricks, transition maneuvers, and technical skating.
Constructed from 7-ply birch hardwood, the Possessed Stumps uses specially formulated crosslinked glue to create a deck that remains durable, responsive, and affordable. Birch construction provides consistent pop and strength while making this deck an excellent option for skaters seeking Creature performance at a more accessible price point.
Whether you're skating bowls in Pasadena, hunting curbs in Monrovia, filming lines in Arcadia, or cruising through parks across the San Gabriel Valley, the Possessed Stumps delivers a versatile platform capable of handling a wide range of terrain. The combination of generous width, shorter wheelbase, responsive construction, and Creature's proven geometry creates a setup that feels equally at home in transition and on the streets.
