World Industries skateboard deck University popsicle 8.25"

World Industries University Deck – 8.25"

A clean and graphic-driven piece from World Industries, the University deck reflects the brand’s signature approach to blending satire, pop culture and bold visual identity. While not tied to a single pro model, this graphic draws from the same creative era that made World Industries one of the most influential skate brands of the late 80s and 90s.

Founded by Rodney Mullen and Steve Rocco, World Industries became known for doing the opposite of traditional skate companies—using humour, parody and unconventional design to challenge the norm. Their graphics often borrowed from everyday culture, advertising and institutional imagery, reworking them into something playful, subversive and instantly recognisable.

The University graphic follows that same direction, using collegiate-style design cues and branding-inspired visuals, reinterpreted through the lens of skate culture. It’s a perfect example of how World Industries turned familiar concepts into something uniquely their own.

This version comes in a classic popsicle shape, making it ideal for everyday skating. Built from 7-ply maple with epoxy glue, it delivers strength, consistent pop and long-lasting durability. The 8.25" width offers a versatile, balanced platform suited to both street and park skating.

Designed in Torrance, California, this deck blends clean graphic style with dependable modern performance.
