The Alva Flying Tiger is a very popular deck that features great graphics, light weight, and durability. With slightly larger dimensions than most boards (9.24x34) this deck has allot of room on it; it's a great choice for those who like to skate parks, pools, bowls or if you just have big feet. It's a big skateboard deck; however, it's surprisingly light weight, concaved, and has allot of pop. The shape is a more modern popsicle stick shape instead of the traditional nose and tail look of old school skateboard or pool board.
The graphics are based on the Flying Tigers whose fighters sported a shark nose graphic during World War II. Once you have a complete assembled with a nice set of trucks, bearings, and wheels this deck feels great.
The only down side to this is the price. Probably due to the Tony Alva name the Flying Tiger retails on the high side in most walk in establishment, but you can find it fairly reasonable online. Get the Alva Flying Tiger skateboard deck today if you are into old school size and new school style. This would be a perfect skateboard deck for any skater who is committed to perfecting their skateboard tricks.
