The Jacuzzi Zander Mitchell Chain Mail Deck 8.5 is the official debut pro model of Zander Mitchell, built for skaters who demand strength, control, and long-term reliability. Featuring artwork by Nick Zizzo, the Chain Mail graphic reflects the raw, technical character of both the rider and the brand. Constructed using Epoxy 7 technology with 100% North American maple, this deck is noticeably stronger than standard industry 7-ply constructions. Each board is individually pressed to ensure consistent concave, controlled flex, and dependable performance. Designed to withstand heavy impacts and aggressive skating, it delivers strong pop and a long deck life.
Performance
With an 8.5-inch width, this deck offers a stable and confidence-inspiring platform, ideal for powerful street skating, gaps, and transitions. The medium concave paired with a medium kick creates a balanced feel that supports precise control without feeling restrictive. This geometry allows for solid ollies, reliable flick, and comfortable landings. The epoxy-bonded construction produces a strong, crisp pop that remains consistent over time. A 14.25-inch wheelbase provides stability at speed while maintaining predictable turning response.
Functional construction
The Epoxy 7 construction uses seven plies of premium North American maple, selected for strength and consistency. Epoxy glue improves resistance to pressure cracks and delamination compared to traditional wood glue. Each deck is individually pressed, ensuring uniform concave and flex across every unit. Split top color veneers add a distinctive visual detail without affecting performance or board feel.
Technology applied to performance
Epoxy bonding enhances energy transfer through the deck, resulting in efficient snap and improved durability under repeated impact. The medium concave securely positions the feet while allowing natural movement, and the medium kick provides effective leverage for ollies and flip tricks. This construction focuses on performance that holds up under real-world skating conditions.
