Opera Skateboards is a bold new brand that’s rapidly carving a niche in skateboarding culture. Launched in 2023 by Bill Weiss under Sidewalk Distribution, Opera emerged from the spirit of the Madness brand, aiming to elevate the industry with high quality product and artful design.

Opera sets itself apart with a unique visual identity. Drawing inspiration from the grand storytelling and theatrical flair of opera, each deck features striking graphics, often with foil embossing, stain‑bleed veneers, and visually stimulating artwork. From minimalist mask motifs to vibrant “Blood Rose” and surreal collages by artists like Nassim Lachhab and Clay Kreiner, aesthetics are central to their identity.

At the core of every Opera deck is their EX7 or Pop‑Slick construction for consistency and strength. These decks boast stronger pop, greater durability, and a longer lifespan than typical 7‑ply boards. Whether you choose a mellow concave or a steep kick, Opera offers shapes ranging from 8.25" popsicles to wider 9.5" cruisers with inner wheel wells for versatility.

Opera’s ethos is rooted in passion and craftsmanship. They position themselves as a beacon for skaters dedicated to pushing creative and technical limits, delivering boards made with precision and heart. As the team behind jenkem magazine put it, Opera’s not about conforming to purism but about embracing diverse voices and artistry in skateboarding.

Opera Skateboards is a statement. Combining artful design, premium epoxy‑reinforced construction, and team‑driven authenticity, Opera caters to skaters who view their deck as both tool and canvas. For riders looking for unique graphics, superior pop, and a brand with a strong creative vision, Opera Skateboards is an exciting proposition. Available at Orbit Skate and Boutique today!
