The Alva Lost Model is one of Alva’s most distinct and timeless designs.
The Alva Lost Model is pressed in the original mold from 79′, giving the board an authentic O.G. look and feel. The Lost Leopard is 9.25 inches wide,and has a 16″ wheelbase, perfect for carving and pumping on banks and transitions. The Lost Model graphic print blends beautifully thanks to the metallic silver of the Leopard print with the flame coloured lettering. This board is a certified classic and would look great front side slashing some pool coping, or bert sliding a bank.
Born in 1957 in Santa Monica, California, Tony was an original member of the Z-Boys skate/surf team when it was formed in the mid 1970’s.Tony is considered by many to be one of the most important skaters of all time.
Tony’s intense surf style approach to skating ignited a flame that became the blazing fire that is modern skateboarding. Tony was one of the original backyard barge and charge pool skaters, and was the first person to ever be recorded doing a front side air.
In 1979, at age 19, Tony started his own skateboard company to take his vision for skateboarding into his own hands and create an authentic brand, this company is still around today and is known simply as Alva Skates. Alva skates is one of the most legendary skateboard companies to ever exist, thanks to Tony’s specific brand image and the remarkable shapes and graphics they’ve created over the years.
