The Opera Clay Kreiner Moth EX7 8.5″ is a skateboard deck built for skaters who demand real performance and long-term durability. Designed as Clay Kreiner’s pro model, this deck is made to handle powerful skating with confidence, whether in bowls, parks, or aggressive street terrain. The 8.5″ width provides a solid and stable platform, offering excellent control at higher speeds and on heavy landings without feeling sluggish. The Moth graphic reflects the raw, technical character of the deck and the riding style it’s built for. Constructed with premium North American maple and epoxy resin, the EX7 construction helps preserve pop and structural integrity over time. This is a deck made for skaters who push hard, skate fast, and expect their setup to keep up session after session.
Performance-wise, the Clay Kreiner Moth EX7 strikes a strong balance between stability and responsiveness. The 8.5″ width delivers confidence when locking into transitions and landing big tricks, especially in bowls and park riding. A 14.25″ wheelbase ensures predictable turning and smooth flow, allowing for controlled carves and consistent lines. The standard concave offers a natural foot placement, giving enough leverage for technical tricks while remaining comfortable for longer sessions. Thanks to the EX7 construction, the pop feels solid and reliable, maintaining its snap even after extended use. This deck is built to feel trustworthy under pressure.
This skateboard deck is made from 7 plies of 100% North American maple, a material known for its strength, durability, and balanced flex. What sets it apart is the Epoxy 7 Construction, which uses epoxy resin instead of traditional glue to bond the layers. This results in a stronger, more impact-resistant deck with a longer lifespan. The 31.95″ length adds overall stability without sacrificing maneuverability, making it a dependable choice for demanding skateboarding.
EX7 epoxy technology is engineered to outperform standard 7-ply constructions. The epoxy resin distributes impact forces more evenly during hard landings, reducing material fatigue over time. This helps the deck retain its shape and pop for longer periods, even under heavy use. The result is a deck that doesn’t just feel good out of the wrapper, but continues to perform consistently through intense sessions.
