Hockey Deck Andrew Allen Truck The Long Way (8.18) delivers that stripped-back, road-worn aesthetic Hockey is known for, built on a responsive 8.18" x 31.73" Shape #1 with a 14" wheelbase—perfect for quick control, tight flick, and navigating everything from ledges to crusty banks. The FA/Hockey original shape brings a steeper concave and that distinct shovel-style nose, giving you extra leverage up front while keeping the board agile under your feet.
The top hits with a bold fully dipped red veneer, clean and uninterrupted except for a subtle Hockey logo stamped near the front bolts—minimal and direct. Flip it over and the story opens up: a grainy, almost vintage-feeling photo of a pickup truck stretched across the full bottom graphic, washed in warm tones and slightly blurred like it’s been pulled from an old road trip snapshot. A figure leans casually from the truck, giving the whole image that in-between moment feel—somewhere mid-journey. Along the side, the vertical HOCKEY text runs clean in white, cutting through the image and anchoring the composition. It’s simple, but it sticks—exactly how Hockey likes it.
This board lines up perfectly with Andrew Allen’s approach to skating—no shortcuts, no hype, just doing it the long way. Coming out of San Juan Capistrano, Allen built his style in that classic Southern California environment where surfing and skating overlap, giving him that smooth but powerful flow. He broke through in the early 2000s, eventually becoming a staple on Anti-Hero before landing with Hockey, where his raw, honest style fits naturally. Known for his ability to handle rough terrain, flatbanks, and unpredictable spots, Allen has always been about longevity and doing things right rather than fast.
Hockey Skateboards, led by Jason Dill and Anthony Van Engelen, continues to push that same mindset—graphics that feel like moments instead of ads, boards that reflect real skating instead of perfection.
Out here in the SGV, this one makes sense—whether you’re pushing through long stretches in West Covina, cutting through alleyways in Alhambra, or hitting spots that aren’t meant to be skated. Fast, responsive, and built to keep moving.
