The Alex Mauer Popsicle Skateboard Deck — Gargoyle Tribute Art by Tim Baron | 7.75" to 9" | Super 8 Skateboard Co.
The Alex Mauer Popsicle Skateboard Deck is a love letter to skateboarding's golden age. Its graphic pays homage to the legendary Gargoyle artwork from Valterra Skateboards in the 1980s — originally created by artist Steve Nazar — reimagined for a new era by Super 8's own Tim Baron. The result honors one of the most distinctive monster graphics of the era while bringing it roaring back to life on a modern board.
It's a fitting tribute for its namesake. Alex Mauer (@alexmauershreds) is a Super 8-supported skater and bodybuilder whose whole ethos is "built to shred for life" — proof that skateboarding isn't something you age out of. This is his signature board, built for skaters who share that spirit.
Built on a true popsicle shape with traditional 7-ply maple construction, The Alex Mauer 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.
What sets it apart is the size range. 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 — from technical street setups to wider, more planted park and transition platforms. 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 Alex Mauer is independent skateboarding the way it should be: real wood, real art, real history.
