Impact XPU Deck Earns Top Marks: Featured in Board of the World’s Strongest Skateboards Review
Introduction: Why We’re Proud
We’re excited to share some great news with our community: our Impact XPU 1.5 Deck has been recognized as one of the top-performing skateboard decks by Steve Weber from Board of the World! After hands-on testing and comparison with some of the most advanced skateboard technologies available today, the Impact XPU has proven itself as a true leader in durability, and performance. If you’re looking for a carbonfibre skateboard that keeps the authentic ride while lasting longer, you’re in the right place!
In fact, our deck received the highest overall rating out of all decks tested, earning 4.60 out of 5 stars — more than Santa Cruz VX, Powell Flight, or Girl Pop Secret.

Steve’s Ongoing Deck Testing and Future Updates
One thing we love about Steve’s work: he’s not a “ride once and review” kind of guy. He continues riding the decks and updates his articles over time!

Future updates will likely include:
- Stiffness evolution
- Long-term slide performance
