Alex Perelson Setup FAQ

What deck does Alex Perelson ride?

Alex Perelson rides a Opera Skateboards Pro Model 8.375″ deck in a 8.375" width as of 2026. Deck choice is the single biggest factor in a pro's setup — width affects stance and stability, while concave and construction drive pop and flick. You can shop the same Opera Skateboards Pro Model 8.375″ deck through the buy links in the setup above.

What trucks does Alex Perelson use?

Alex Perelson uses Thunder Trucks trucks. Trucks determine how a skateboard turns and how it lands grinds, and pros typically match hanger width to deck width for proper alignment. Most pro skaters stick with one truck brand for years once they have the feel dialed in.

What wheels does Alex Perelson ride?

Alex Perelson rides Spitfire Wheels Formula Four (size not stated) wheels. Wheel size and hardness drive speed and grip — smaller, harder wheels favor technical street skating, while larger, softer wheels suit transition, park, and rougher terrain.

What shoes does Alex Perelson skate in?

Alex Perelson skates in Vans. Skate shoes are built with reinforced toe caps, vulcanized or cupsole construction, and grippy gum rubber outsoles for board feel and durability. Pros often go through several pairs a month from heavy daily skating.
