The Opera Evil Eye Symmetrical EX7 Pop Slick Deck 8.25 is built for skaters who demand consistency, precision, and real-world durability. Constructed from 7 plies of 100% North American maple bonded with epoxy glue and individually pressed, it clearly outperforms standard industrial decks. The Pop-Slick finish preserves the natural wood pop while enhancing slide performance on ledges and rails. Its fully symmetrical twin-tail shape delivers identical response in both directions, making it ideal for modern technical skating. Every detail is focused on long-term performance, offering a deck that stays responsive, solid, and reliable session after session.
This deck delivers strong, crisp, and consistent pop thanks to its individual pressing process and premium maple selection. Energy transfer is immediate, providing confidence on takeoff and stability on landings. The medium concave paired with a medium kick creates a balanced platform that supports precise flip tricks while remaining comfortable during long sessions. The symmetrical shape removes any difference between nose and tail, allowing seamless switch skating and clean technical lines. Even after heavy use, the board maintains its snap and structural integrity.
The EX7 construction combines seven plies of North American maple with high-strength epoxy glue, resulting in a structure that is tougher and more resilient than traditional 7-ply decks. Each deck is individually pressed to ensure uniform flex and controlled stiffness. The stain bleed veneer and embossed graphic details add visual depth while reinforcing the premium feel. The Pop-Slick base introduces a functional advantage, improving durability and slide performance without altering the natural board feel.
Epoxy bonding enhances layer cohesion and reduces fatigue over time, extending the life of the deck. The Pop-Slick treatment uses the same wood as the deck itself, processed to reduce friction during slides and grinds. This results in longer, smoother slides without sacrificing pop or board control. The technology is subtle, effective, and focused purely on performance rather than gimmicks.
