Podest PROTO Saturn 6.0" x 22" TDI Raw

PROTO Saturn 2 DEX Deck
Next-level evolution of the TDI deck system

The Saturn 2 DEX represents the pinnacle of our TDI deck lineage. It delivers the same ride feel as the Saturn 1, as it is built from the same extrusion profile, featuring our signature Drop-Top Technology.

This design lowers the top of the two outer channels below the center channel, creating a center ridge for extra traction while also reducing weight.

The raw brushed aluminum finish with black laser engraving gives each deck a unique look — and more importantly, you don’t need to “break it in” by wearing down paint or anodizing to get it grinding properly.
