The Powell Peralta OG Per Welinder freestyle Deck is back! Featuring long 4 – 2.5″ old school truck hole pattern!Â
With art from the legendary VCJ, a vibrant hot pink colorway, and the same shape as back in the day you can’t go wrong.
This board is very flat, with minimal concave, flat nose and a super mellow tail. This allows for maximum control, and finesse when exercising those freestyle muscles! At seven inches wide, and with a 11.5″ wheelbase this board is going to be light as a feather, and very snappy when doing any pivots or spins.
The Per Welinder Viking Skull was illustrated by V.C. Johnson in 1984. The fanged fantasy graphic was meant to reflect Per’s Swedish origins. It was initially assigned to his freestyle model without the rock texture background, which was added in an updated version in 1986. In 1987 the new full-length graphic was adapted for a street model as Per began performing freestyle / street demos. The eighth century Runic stone lettering spells out Per’s name as well as the background quote, “Search and strive, push beyond with strength, yours not theirs, that is the key.” Something Per came up with. The graphic was also used for T-shirts and stickers.
