Established in 1994 under the creative vision of Russ Pope, Creature Skateboards revolutionized skateboarding with its 7-ply North American Maple decks. Crafted individually using epoxy, this construction method guarantees not just strength but also a highly responsive and durable deck. Pope, formerly managing the SMA team, brought his unique approach to Creature, setting it apart.
The original Creature crew boasted talents like Jason Adams, Barker Barrett, and Darren Navarrette. After Adams’ departure to co-found Scarecrow, Navarrette and Lee Charron took charge, injecting the brand with a fresh, creative energy. Creature Skateboards, renowned for its unique and often dark aesthetic, has become synonymous with pushing the boundaries of style within skateboarding.
The 7-ply maple deck, a hallmark of Creature’s offerings, signifies a commitment to quality and innovation. The use of North American Maple, pressed individually with epoxy, ensures a deck that not only withstands the rigors of skateboarding but also provides a reliable and consistent ride. Creature Skateboards, with its distinctive approach and construction, continues to shape the skateboarding landscape, offering skateboarders a platform that fuses durability, innovation, and a one-of-a-kind visual identity.

Rewind to 1994, and that's where Creature Skateboards first hit the scene, emerging from the creative minds at NHS. The mastermind behind it? None other than Russ Pope, the same legend who managed the SMA team.
The original crew tearing it up on Creature decks included Jason Adams, Barker Barrett, and Darren Navarrette. Adams, though, didn't stick around for long, as he teamed up with Pope to kickstart Scarecrow.
This time, it was Navarrette and Lee Charron at the helm, steering the team and injecting fresh, creative vibes into the brand's direction.
