Uma Cody Pre Dawn Deck

The UMA Landsleds “Pre Dawn” deck (Cody Chapman pro model) is more than just a skateboard – it’s a piece of an art project that you can skate. This deck features exclusive artwork titled “Premature Dawn” by acclaimed artist Nathaniel Russell, with poetic touches from Griffin McPartland, making it stand out from typical skate graphics. The result is a visually striking board with a story behind it – something about the calm or mystery before the dawn, rendered in UMA’s creative style. Cody Chapman’s name on it means it’s his signature shape and dimensions: typically, it comes in an 8.38″ width popsicle shape (and also a special “Toenail” egg-shaped 9.0″ for collectors, though the standard popsicle is most common in shops). The construction is classic 7-ply Canadian maple, pressed to perfection for a solid, lasting pop. The deck’s concave is medium, providing a comfortable foothold for everything from technical flip tricks to powering through a pool corner. One cool touch: many UMA decks come with a little zine or newspaper in the shrink wrap, featuring matching art and words – if yours has that, it’s a fun read and collectible. Skating the Pre Dawn, you’ll find it as reliable as any top-tier deck, since UMA’s wood is sourced from industry-leading manufacturers (often Generator or similar, known for excellent quality control). It’s got a good balance of stiffness and flex – plenty of life for ollies, yet not overly rigid. And as you scratch and slide the graphic, you might just appreciate that you’re interacting with art in a completely personal way. For those who value creativity and skate performance in equal measure, Cody’s Pre Dawn deck is a perfect sunrise: bringing light to your skating even before the day fully breaks.
