Decks

How good are BoardPusher.com decks?
The decks are perfect. Strong, lots of pop, and really light. 100% Canadian Maple, made in North America, and at the top of industry standards. Everyone at BoardPusher.com skateboards, and we take pride in the quality of our decks. We wouldn’t want to skate anything else. Many third party reviews of our products have been posted on our forum as well. Get more skateboard deck information and user reviews on the deck info page.

Where on the skateboard is the graphic applied?
The graphic is applied to the bottom of the skateboard.

RETURNS

- Skateboard deck is returned within 30 days of receipt
- Skateboard is as new and un-skated
- Skateboard grip tape has not been applied
- Skateboard trucks, bolts, or stickers have not been applied

In lieu of replacement BoardPusher, at its sole option, may refund the purchase price. Shipping costs will not be refunded. If you need to return a product, please contact us to obtain the proper address to ship your return. Your credit card will be refunded upon receipt of your returned skateboard deck.
