Skateboard Deck — This Island Earth Art by Tim Baron | 7.75" to 9" | Super 8 Skateboard Co.
Solve the puzzle, and the mutant awaits. The Metaluna Pop Skateboard Deck brings Tim Baron's tribute to the unforgettable Metaluna Mutant of the 1955 atomic-age sci-fi classic This Island Earth to a true modern popsicle. In the film, scientist Cal Meacham cracks a mysterious puzzle that pulls him into Exeter's secret program of the world's greatest minds — only to discover his hosts are aliens from the dying planet Metaluna, and that their bug-brained, exposed-cranium mutant is the stuff of golden-age nightmares. Tim Baron channels all of that pulpy, big-brained horror across the bottom of the board.
Built on a true popsicle shape with traditional 7-ply maple construction, The Metaluna Pop delivers the durable, sturdy, and poppy feel that's defined modern street skating for decades. The medium concave profile locks your feet in for confident control on ledges, manuals, and flip tricks — without going so deep that it kills your bowl runs or transition lines.
With seven widths from 7.75" up to 9.00", you can dial in exactly the deck that matches your stance, your foot size, and your style. Each size is tuned with its own length, nose, tail, and wheelbase, so you get a true progression — not just the same shape stretched bigger.
Skate it hard, hang it on the wall, or do both. The Metaluna Pop is independent skateboarding the way it should be: real wood, real art, real atomic-age sci-fi horror. Beam one up before it heads back to the stars.
