The Real Deck Team Non Fiction (8.12) captures the raw, thought-provoking style that has defined Real Skateboards for decades. Featuring an editorial-inspired graphic filled with partially censored text and bold black redaction bars, this deck invites interpretation while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Built on a versatile 8.12" popsicle shape, it's an excellent choice for street skating, technical tricks, park sessions, and all-around skateboarding.
The bottom graphic features a striking teal background that gradually transitions into a rich stained wood veneer near the tail, allowing the natural grain of the maple to show through. Across the deck, lines of printed text are interrupted by thick black censor bars, creating the appearance of a heavily redacted document. Hidden phrases emerge between the blacked-out sections, giving the artwork a layered, mysterious feel that rewards a closer look. Near the lower third sits the classic Real Skateboards oval logo in teal and white, tying the entire composition together with one of skateboarding's most recognizable brand marks. The result is a sophisticated graphic that feels artistic, intelligent, and unmistakably Real.
Sized at 8.12" wide by 32.00" long, this deck offers an ideal balance between flip responsiveness and stability. The 14.25" wheelbase creates a lively, maneuverable ride that works exceptionally well for technical street skating while remaining stable enough for transitions and gaps. A 7.00" nose and 6.75" tail provide balanced pop in either direction, making this standard popsicle shape feel familiar and dependable whether you're learning new tricks or filming serious video parts.
Constructed from premium 7-ply North American maple, the Real Deck Team Non Fiction (8.12) is designed to deliver consistent pop, durability, and long-lasting performance. The slightly wider platform offers added confidence on landings without sacrificing quick board control, making it a versatile size for skaters who want one setup that performs everywhere. As with all stained veneer decks, top ply colors may vary, making each board slightly unique.
