The Real Deck Team Non Fiction (8.38) pairs Real Skateboards' premium construction with an artistic, editorial-inspired graphic that encourages a second look. Featuring layers of partially redacted text across a warm cream background, this deck blends clean design with subtle storytelling, creating a graphic that's understated yet unmistakably unique. Combined with a wider 8.38" platform, it's an excellent choice for skaters who want added stability for transition, street, bowls, and all-around skating.
The bottom graphic showcases a cream-colored background filled with fragments of printed text that are interrupted by bold black censor bars, giving the appearance of a heavily redacted manuscript or classified document. Between the blacked-out lines, select words and phrases remain visible, creating a graphic that feels mysterious and open to interpretation. Near the lower third sits the classic Real Skateboards oval logo in rich brown and white, complementing the warm tones throughout the artwork. The bottom of the deck transitions into a natural stained wood veneer, allowing the maple grain to become part of the design and giving every board its own distinctive appearance.
Measuring 8.38" wide by 32.25" long, this deck provides a stable, confidence-inspiring platform without sacrificing maneuverability. The 14.50" wheelbase offers a balanced feel that performs equally well on transition, ledges, gaps, and technical street skating. A 7.00" nose and 6.50" tail maintain a familiar popsicle geometry with responsive pop and reliable control, making the board versatile enough for virtually every style of skateboarding.
Built using Real's R1 Construction, the deck features traditional 7-ply North American maple, delivering the strength, consistent pop, and durability that Real has become known for worldwide. The wider platform offers additional foot space for larger riders or anyone who prefers extra stability, especially when skating ramps, pools, bowls, or rougher terrain.

Their commitment to quality construction and authentic skateboarding continues to define the brand today.
Whether you're skating the parks in Monrovia, cruising through Pasadena, hitting curbs in Covina, or spending weekends exploring spots across the San Gabriel Valley, the Real Deck Team Non Fiction (8.38) offers dependable performance, classic Real craftsmanship, and a graphic that stands apart without trying too hard.
