HALL OF FAME – Danforth Gold Dip! There are a handful of names that don’t just ride skate history — they define it. Bill Danforth is one of those names.
To honor his induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame, Madrid brings back the raw, unapologetic power of Danforth’s original shape and graphic in a limited Gold Dip edition. This isn’t a re-imagining. It’s a statement.
The classic 9.5″ x 30″ platform delivers that unmistakable late-80s pool and vert feel — wide, stable, aggressive, and built for riders who understand that skating isn’t meant to be polite. The concave hits right. The proportions feel deliberate. This is a board with backbone.
And then there’s the finish.
The Gold Dip treatment turns this into something collectible without softening its edge. It still looks dangerous. Just rarer.
Celebrating five decades of raw California skate heritage, the Madrid 50th Anniversary Reissue Collection pays tribute to the graphics and shapes that helped define an era.
Each deck in this limited anniversary run captures the unmistakable feel of the 80s—period-correct shapes, classic artwork, and that timeless Madrid attitude. From iconic pro models like John Lucero, Mike Smith, and Ken Park to collector-favourite heritage graphics, this release isn’t just a reprint—it’s a revival.

Jerry Madrid began shaping surfboards in his parents' Southern California garage in the late 1960s. When the waves weren’t good enough to surf, Jerry shaped skateboards for himself and his friends.Â
