New Deal Useless Wooden Toy Skateboard Deck | 8.5"
A New Deal reissue done right. The Useless Wooden Toys deck brings back one of skateboarding's most recognisable graphics — the Rocking Horse — in a shape built for modern skating. The 8.5" width sits on a slightly modified mold with a symmetrical nose-to-tail surface, a 7.125" nose and 6.75" tail, and a touch less concave depth than New Deal's narrower shapes. The result is a board that feels planted and confident underfoot — stable enough for transition and larger obstacles, responsive enough for street. Classic double kick, mellow concave, and a stained wood finish with screened artwork that holds up as a display piece just as comfortably as it does a daily rider.
Every plank is hand-crafted by PS Stix in Mexico using seven-ply Canadian maple — the same no-shortcuts construction approach that made New Deal's original run so well regarded. This is a limited edition holiday reissue distributed through select skate shops only, so stock won't last.
For skaters who were there the first time around, and for those who've spent years hunting one down.

About New Deal
New Deal Skateboards was founded in 1990 by Steve Douglas and Andy Howell out of a shared belief that skateboarding deserved better — better graphics, better construction, and a creative vision that pushed past what the industry was doing at the time. Within a few years, New Deal had become one of the most influential brands of the early nineties, with a team and a catalogue that defined an era. Riders like Andy Howell, Steve Berra, Ed Templeton and Chris Pastras gave the brand a creative edge that went beyond skateboarding — the graphics were art, the videos were cinema, and the whole thing felt like it meant something.
The Useless Wooden Toys series sits at the heart of that legacy. Absurdist, funny and instantly iconic, it captured exactly what made New Deal different from everyone else on the shelf. Its return as a limited holiday reissue isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake — it's a reminder that the best ideas in skateboarding don't really go away. They just wait for the right moment to come back.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

Jones Howler 160W
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
