During a team visit to Tom Penny's chateau in the south of France, Ali was given the nickname, Ali "Banana" by Belinda (Tom's mother). This led to a fun idea for a banana graphic wearing a leather jacket, expertly drawn up by Flips' artist Daniel Dunphy.
Available again for a limited time with hand-screen-printed Ali "Banana" artwork on our 8.1" classic shape. The graphics are printed using the original old films and colour separations.
7-ply Canadian hard Rock Maple.
31.6” x 8.1” with 14.25” WB
Hand-screened decks are intentionally left with sloppy ink edges because that’s how the originals were done. Scraping with blades cleans up the edges but then the graphics look more similar to heat transfers which they are certainly not. The occasional dragged edge within the graphic art print is normal too. These are 100% screen printed by hand the old way.
