The Powell Peralta Geegah Skull and Sword slight variation on the tail gave it a unique sense of style and class! Powell Peralta has been an innovator of shapes, and this one has been revived for your skating pleasure!
In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. Easy to build, portable and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the “Gee-Gaw” shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why “Gee-Gaw?” Ask Chris Iverson. This shape was also used for the Skull & Sword graphic. They were originally produced between 1987 and 1988.
This deck features the SP2 Shape, which features a spoon nose! The SP2 is a replica of the golden ages of Powell. The mold is designed for decks in the
10” x 30” area and feature the classic
unsymmetrical nose and tail degrees.

The World famous Powell Skatezone unfortunately had to close it’s doors in the summer of 1994. But before it did there was “The Last Jam.”
Powell Peralta is an American skateboard company founded by George Powell and Stacy Peralta in 1978. It became known for its Bones Brigade team, which included top skateboarding competitors of the 1980s.
Peralta left the company in 1991 and Powell continued to produce skateboard equipment under the Powell, Bones Bearings, and RollerBones brands. CalStreets or CSI was the company's second distributor in Canada after Northwest Skateboards.
