⚡ Loaded Ballona Orca 27.75" - Surfskate Deck Only
The Loaded Ballona Orca 27.75" is a compact mini-cruiser deck that can also be built as a surfskate. Its 9" width, subtle rocker, sculpted concave and two wheelbase options (14.75" or 16") allow a choice between agility and stability depending on the trucks. This stiff platform weighs only 1.2 kg and comes without trucks or wheels.
★ Compact yet supportive underfoot
Despite its 27.75-inch length, the Ballona offers 9 inches of width for foot placement. Mild concave and carefully shaped curves provide leverage through turns. A short, broad tail helps with manoeuvres while the minimal nose keeps the board compact.
⚡ Two wheelbase options, two riding styles
The inner 14.75-inch wheelbase is intended for manoeuvrability, especially with traditional-kingpin trucks or a compatible surfskate system. The outer 16-inch wheelbase works particularly well with reverse-kingpin trucks and adds stability. Always check mounting holes, truck geometry, riser height and wheel clearance before assembly.
★ Build a custom compact ride
A subtle rocker, stiff construction and 1.2 kg deck weight make the Ballona easy to carry and suitable for cruising, pumptracks, carving and tricks. The selected Orca graphic is sold as a bare deck, without trucks, wheels, bearings or hardware.
