Launching just in time for the holidays, the DEK ($29.99) is available at www.getdek.com. The DEK is tailored for PlayStation® and Nintendo Wii™ skate, snowboarding and fitness games, including Tony Hawk™: RIDE® and Tony Hawk®: SHRED. It provides increased stability while playing or working out and improves board to controller connectivity on any floor surface. Street-savvy graphic designs enhance the experience while the ShurFoot™ texture provides needed traction and an authentic street feel.

The DEK will also improve the virtual experience of the new Kinect™ for Xbox 360® games by simulating an actual skate or snowboard.

"Our online research revealed millions of comments regarding stability and communication consistency between the board and console," said Tim Beres, co-creator of the DEK. "We're huge fans of Wii and Xbox and saw a fun way to improve the gaming experience."

Pro rider Pat Milbery uses the DEK during board gaming and will be featuring it during the SO-GNAR Mighty Midwest Snowboard Camp Tour this season. "My board control was greatly improved with the DEK," said Milbery. "The DEK graphics make me stoked to play."
