The Rodriguez Skull & Sword deck was the first pro signature deck graphic produced by Powell-Peralta. The graphic was conceived by Ray and Illustrated by V.C. Johnson with art direction from George Powell in 1979.

Initially released in two distinctly different shapes; a 10 x 30 Widetail version and a 10 x 28.5 Snub Nose, it came in Brite-Lite Dayglo yellow, orange, purple and green. In years to follow, it was made in various different colors and a Powell-Peralta logo was added. In 1983 Rays signature was removed and replaced with a Powell-Peralta script logo. The graphic was also used for T-shirts and stickers.

FLIGHT Decks are:

• Thinner as thin as your phone
• Stronger more than twice as strong in our tail break tests
• Longer lasting The epoxy infused, fiber reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives them everlasting pop that doesnt fade as your deck slowly wears.
• Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.
• Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times longer than a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.
