Holy Penguin’s umbrella Batman!!! It’s the Blockhead Jeremy Wray limited edition “umbrella” shape. The original idea was to make a fun cruiser board that took cues from an umbrella to tie in with the classic “Rain Girl” graphics from 1993…but after Jeremy tweaked the shape a few times we had a rad shape suitable for slapping on some softies and rolling to the beer store or set it up as your everyday axe for thrashing curbs, pools, bowls, ramps, ditches or whatever.
Skateboarding history will always be kind to Jeremy Wray, but that tends to happen when you’re just an all-out badass ripper. Jeremy was at the forefront of the modern street skating movement in the early 90’s, so it’s only right that he should be honored with a sick deck of his own design.

Jeremy Wray’s part from Blockhead – Debbie Does Blockhead
Blockhead Skateboards, which took its roots in a Northern California garage in 1985 under the leadership of Dave Bergthold, had a remarkable journey that spanned approximately a decade. During this period, CALSTREETS played a crucial role in distributing Blockhead skates throughout Canada in the '80s. This collaboration led to the forging of enduring friendships, unforgettable moments, the launch of successful careers, the creation of iconic skate ramps, and a wealth of unforgettable skateboarding experiences.
The impact of Blockhead on the skateboarding world was profound and multifaceted. Be it the original and striking artwork by Ron Cameron, the intense and heated sessions on 'The Blockhead Ramp,' or the numerous talented individuals who emerged from this era to leave their mark on the skateboard industry as professionals and industry shapers, Blockhead's legacy remains deeply ingrained in the fabric of skateboarding history.
