NORTHWEST SKATEBOARDS HEAD HONCHO TRIBUTE STICKERS WHITE 3″

$3.25

This 3-inch CalStreets Head Honcho tribute sticker was created as a nod to Harry Greenberg, Northwest Skateboards, and one of Rick Tetz’s first major jobs in the skateboard industry. It is not an original vintage Head Honcho sticker — it is a fresh CalStreets tribute to a wild little slice of Canadian skate history.

Back in the early days, Northwest Skateboards had that raw, loud, West Coast attitude. The Head Honcho boards were tough, mean, full-grip, wheel-welled, rock-hard maple beasts, backed by ads that sounded like they were ready to start a fight in the parking lot.

This sticker brings that energy back in classic CalStreets fashion: bold, weird, historic, and slightly dangerous if applied too close to a lunchbox.

A small sticker with a big story — Canadian skateboarding, Northwest attitude, and CalStreets roots all packed into 3 inches. RARE: CANADA’S FIRST SKATEBOARD DIST NW SKATEBOARDS

Head Honcho Skateboards by Northwest Skateboards Vancouver Harry Greenberg CalStreets Skate Hoarder Canada

This 3-inch CalStreets Head Honcho tribute sticker is a personal one.

I created it as a tribute to Harry Greenberg, Northwest Skateboards, and one of my first major jobs in the skateboard industry. This is not an original vintage Head Honcho sticker.

It is a new CalStreets tribute piece, made with a lot of respect for a wild little slice of Canadian skate history.

Head Honcho had that early skateboarding attitude that you just can’t fake. The ads were loud, the boards were tough, and the whole thing had that “mean, fast, and slightly out of control” feeling that made skateboarding so much fun back then.

Full grip, wheel wells, rock-hard maple, bold graphics — no soft edges, no corporate polish.

For me, this sticker ties right back to the start. After KADE’s (Cranbrook Bike Shop), Northwest Skateboards was one of those early jobs that helped pull me deeper into the skateboard world.

Long before CalStreets became a vault of old-school skate culture, I was right there watching this stuff happen, learning the business, meeting the skaters and owners, and getting hooked for life.

So this sticker is not just a logo. It is a little thank-you to the people, the boards, the ads, and the attitude that helped shape the road to CalStreets.

A small piece of sticker vinyl with a whole lot of old skate ghosts riding behind it.

NORTHWEST SKATEBOARDS

Head Honcho Skateboards by Northwest Skateboards Vancouver Harry Greenberg CalStreets Skate Hoarder CanadaI landed my first job in Vancouver at Northwest Skateboards, working under Harry Greenberg. Harry, a Black Belt in Karate, saw I was also training in Tae Kwon Do, he recognized my dedication, and hired me right after I graduated in 1977. I moved from Cranbrook to Vancouver to become Northwest’s warehouse manager, handling shipping and receiving for skateboards throughout Canada—a dream role for someone who lived and breathed skate culture. Although I oversaw the warehouse, I also assembled thousands of ACS Trucks that came in disassembled. Harry’s plan was to import them in pieces to get a better distributor discount, and I took on the task of putting them together. If you had ACS Trucks back then, there’s a good chance I was the one who built them! On top of that, answering the phones gave me a chance to connect with all the major movers and shakers in the industry. With Northwest’s innovative in-house brands—Juice Boards, Head Honcho, Command Trucks, and Planet Wheels—and even an Olympic license under its belt, the company was thriving. After a while, I branched out and opened my first retail shop, SKATEBOARD CENTRAL, at 338 Lonsdale Avenue in North Vancouver. From there, I launched CalStreets, which has now been serving the skate community for over 45 years. Looking back, my experience at Northwest—shipping skateboards across Canada by day and building ACS Trucks by night—was the perfect foundation for everything I would accomplish later.
