The Girl Deck Rick McCrank Dual Directional (8.5) blends clean graphic design with one of the most innovative shapes in the Girl Skateboards lineup. Featuring Rick McCrank's signature G096 Twin Tip shape, this deck showcases a striking minimalist graphic printed over a natural wood veneer. Two oversized directional arrows dominate the artwork—one in rich purple pointing upward and the other in vibrant magenta pointing downward. The arrows intertwine in a smooth knot at the center of the deck, symbolizing movement in either direction while reinforcing the board's unique dual-direction concept. Small restroom-style icons placed within each arrow add a clever visual touch, while crisp black outlines and subtle detailing keep the artwork modern, clean, and unmistakably Girl.
Designed around the concept of riding without boundaries, the Girl Deck Rick McCrank Dual Directional (8.5) features Shape Code G096, Girl's first true Twin Tip construction. The perfectly symmetrical nose and tail, paired with straight rails, create a balanced ride whether skating regular or switch. Measuring 8.5" x 31.875" with a 14" wheelbase, 6.84" nose, and 6.84" tail, this deck offers a stable platform that's equally at home on ledges, rails, transition, manuals, and technical street skating. Its dual-direction, multi-functional design allows riders to treat either end as the nose, maximizing consistency and extending the life of the deck.
