Flatspot Team: Sho Ouellette is too young to be so talented. Its not fair and makes everyone else feel washed up! But if you can’t beat em, join em, right? There isn’t anyone who can blast a roman candle faster than him. Thats a scientific fact. This summer he did some glob trotting, and skated all around Japan and Colombia! He came home from the summer with his own Pro-Model board with Valhalla Skateboards!
Pantheon Longboards – Andy Atchison Pro Model – Tortuga Deck
The Andy Atch Pro Model is here! If you remember the “Summit Series Tortuga,” consider this a more affordable but every bit as capable version of the same board. While many downhill racers are throwing torque blocks on their boards, the Andy Atch Pro sets you up with this excellent tucking mechanism within the design of the board.

Series 15 is a mixed colored set. Three of the decks are stained (Mullen, Hawk and Guerrero) and three are opaque paint (Mountain, McGill and Caballero). Much like our Powell-Peralta Classic stained decks, opacity of the stain will vary. Each deck will be completely unique due to the staining process and the natural variance in wood grain in the veneer. Each deck may not match image representation exactly.
Each deck has a sequentially numbered sticker, and will include a postcard.
