Powell Peralta Old School Ripper Skateboard Deck Gold Foil

Description

The Powell Peralta Old School Ripper Skateboard Deck Gold Foil – 9.89″ x 31.32″ brings a true legend back to life. “The Ripper” is widely considered the most iconic skateboard graphic ever made. Powell-Peralta artist V.C. Johnson (Vernon Courtlandt Johnson) illustrated it in 1983. Ever since, it has become a symbol of skateboarding culture.

Originally, Powell used the Ripper artwork as a “Bones Sold Here” dealer window sticker. Then it moved onto t-shirts. After that, it made its way onto decks. Because of that history, the Ripper has stayed a staple in the Powell-Peralta line for decades.

This version levels it up with a gold foil finish, making it perfect for collectors, wall displays, and riders who want something special under their feet.

Powell-Peralta™ Re-Issue Construction

Powell builds these reissues with a trusted manufacturing partner in Mexico. They use U.S. hard rock maple and high-quality glue that meets Powell’s specifications. As a result, the deck is warranted against delamination for its useful life.

Powell creates the shape and graphics in Santa Barbara, California.

Foil Finish Disclaimer

Foil graphics naturally vary from deck to deck. Minor imperfections, light texture changes, or small variations are normal. In fact, that’s part of what makes each foil deck unique.
