The Krooked Deck Mike Anderson Manderson Skull King (8.38) is a signature pro model built for skaters who appreciate raw street performance, timeless construction, and artwork that reflects the creative energy of Mark Gonzales and the Krooked team. Designed around Mike Anderson's preferred shape, this deck offers the stability to charge transitions, confidence on rugged street terrain, and the versatility to handle everything from technical ledge lines to fast bowl sessions.
The bottom graphic features the bold "Manderson Skull King" artwork printed over a crisp white background, allowing every color to stand out with striking contrast. At the center sits a stylized black skull with piercing blue eyes and a jagged yellow nose, topped by an aggressive crown of red and black spikes that resemble both flames and a royal crown. Four hanging stars beneath the skull reinforce the "King" theme, while the hand-drawn "Krooked Anderson" lettering adds the loose, sketchbook-inspired personality that has become synonymous with Krooked graphics. The bold red outlines, imperfect hand-drawn lines, and expressive artwork perfectly capture the playful, artistic identity that has made Krooked one of skateboarding's most recognizable brands.
Built around Mike's Shape (DLXSF Shape #II), this deck measures 8.38" wide, 32.00" long, and features a 14.25" wheelbase, delivering an ideal balance between responsiveness and stability. The 7.00" nose and 6.75" tail provide balanced control for flip tricks while maintaining enough surface area for powerful transition skating and fast street lines. A medium-to-steep concave locks your feet comfortably into position, offering excellent leverage for ollies, flip tricks, manuals, and technical control without sacrificing comfort during longer sessions.
Constructed from traditional 7-ply North American hard rock maple, the deck provides crisp pop, long-lasting durability, and dependable strength that skaters have trusted for decades. Like many Deluxe Distribution decks, the top veneer stain color varies, giving each individual board its own unique appearance while maintaining identical performance.
This pro model represents Mike Anderson, affectionately known throughout skateboarding as "Manderson."

Since joining Krooked Skateboards in 2008 under the guidance of Mark Gonzales, Anderson has become one of the brand's defining professionals, delivering memorable video parts in productions like Not Another Transworld Video and Magic Art Suplyes. Off the board, he's equally known for his self-built concrete backyard skatepark, ranch lifestyle, motorcycle enthusiasm, and ownership of Blackhole Skate Shop, all reflecting the independent spirit that defines modern skateboarding.
Behind Krooked Skateboards is legendary skateboarder Mark Gonzales, widely considered one of the most influential skateboarders of all time.
