The Powell Peralta Caballero Chinese Dragon Reissue Deck is back with a wicked blacklight graphic!
Get your hands or rather your feet on this sick re-issue. Designed to get rad, this deck features quality construction meant to be skated. Perfect for collectors, Cab fans, or anyone who wants a good deck with old-school style.
Your next ride should probably be the Powell-Peralta Steve Caballero Chinese Dragon Skateboard Deck! After a six year run, it was time to change up Caballero’s deck graphic.
Just in time for the filming of the Animal Chin video in 1986, a new dragon graphic was created for Cab. Now known as the Cab Chinese Dragon, the artwork was inspired by a Chinese takeout box and finally illustrated by VCJ.
The Chinese Dragon came on a new “fish” shape in full size and mini. It was produced as 7-ply maple, and also with the special “Bonite” construction. It was discontinued in 1987.
Powell-Peralta re-issue decks are close reproductions of their 1980’s counterparts, featuring the original Pro graphics and shape, top graphic logo and concave.
