Powell Peralta Skateboard Deck Geegah Skull And Sword 10 Silver Foil 9.75

LONG 4 - 2.5" OLD SCHOOL TRUCK HOLE PATTERN 

In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. Easy to build, portable and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the "Gee-Gaw" shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why "Gee-Gaw?" Ask Chris Iverson. This shape was also used for the Ripper graphic. They were produced between 1987 and 1988. 

About the art:
