“I've programmed and maintained enough robotic cells to confidently say that Control knows what the hell they're doing” -Kai Outlaw
First, we select a style-writing piece Taj has laid down in real life. Then we isolate it, size it up, and manually place it on the custom deck template provided by Control.
*Taj's style writing is complex, and most isolation software struggles to take the good while leaving the bad(flora, resolution degradation, unwanted pixels, etc.). Regardless of complexity, we do our absolute best to capture the essence of the original art work.

BOARDS
“I want to be transparent with the people”
Every single piece of art we choose to place on our decks is, and always will be, made by a real person. We take extreme pride in that, now more than ever.
WOOD & GEOMETRY
100% 7-ply Canadian hard rock maple. Locked exclusively at 8.25".
PRESS & SOURCE
Cold-pressed for lasting pop. Imported directly from Control Inc. in Quebec, Canada.
GRAPHIC & WEAR
Industrial heat transfers. The ink bonds aggressively to the wood, so it grinds off the way it should—heavy and honest on concrete.
*We know the current political climate has made importing from Canada a lot more expensive. Honestly? We don't care. We will eat those extra cross-border costs before we ever consider cutting ties with our partners or compromising on quality.
WHY DON'T WE SELL HARDWARE?
We take skateboarding seriously, and a skater's setup comes down to strict personal preference. If we can't provide the absolute highest-grade hardware, we won't sell it.
that's how every deck on the wall gets made_
