Metal Silas Bakwas Deck (8.75") 11/18/2022 and the redesigned gum rubberMetal Silas Bakwas Deck (8. 75"). The story of the Bakwas originates from Silas' home in the Pacific Northwest. Legend has it the Bakwas would create the illusion of a meal to look like salmon and berries but it was really rotten wood, maggots, snakes and lizards. Anyone who ate this gnarly grub was doomed to become a Bakwas themselves. Stain Colour may vary. Grip not included. Imported.
