Santa Cruz Skateboards: Over Fifty Years of History and Riding
Founded in 1973 in California, Santa Cruz is the oldest active skateboard brand in the world today. A true pillar of skate culture, it has spanned the decades while staying true to its roots. The brand shaped skateboard imagery through its collaboration with artist Jim Phillips, creator of iconic graphics like the Screaming Hand and the Classic Dot. This is the very essence of skate culture that you can rep on your setup or via our brand t-shirts.
Build Quality and Innovations: VX Decks and Everslick
Beyond its legendary graphics, Santa Cruz stands out for its constant pursuit of performance. The brand pushes the limits of durability with cutting-edge technologies tailored to the demands of modern skateboarding.
- VX Deck: A construction combining 5 plies of maple wood with 2 plies of Quad X Technology (carbon/glass fiber). Thinner, lighter, and equipped with an exceptional, long-lasting "pop", these decks are the ideal choice for intensive sessions, proving far more durable than standard decks.
- Everslick: For street skaters, this unique graphic coating slides faster and resists abrasion much better on curbs and ledges.
