The Santa Cruz Skateboards Corey O’Brien Purgatory Reissue deck is a striking tribute to skateboarding’s rich history and contemporary craftsmanship. Its full dip purple deck, adorned with newly remastered spot matte graphic art and a laser-etched 2024 reissue decktop logo, captures attention with its bold aesthetic. Crafted from 7 ply North American Maple, each individually pressed using epoxy, this deck embodies durability, responsiveness, and long-lasting pop.
The incorporation of Old School concave design adds both nostalgia and functionality, featuring a comfortable side-to-side concave and continuous tail kick. By blending vintage design elements with modern manufacturing techniques, Santa Cruz has created a deck that not only pays homage to skateboarding’s roots but also meets the demands of today’s riders, offering a balance of style, performance, and reliability.

Santa Cruz Skateboards, nestled in the skateboarder's paradise of Santa Cruz, California, burst onto the scene in 1973. Picture this: Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, probably sporting some epic '70s hairdos, get together and say, "Hey, let's start NHS Inc. and shake up the skate world."Â
With over four decades of skateboarding smarts (that's like, 280 in dog years of skate knowledge), Santa Cruz isn't just a brand; it's a skateboarding legend. Thanks to the mind-blowing graphics from the artist extraordinaire Jim Phillips, their decks are more iconic than a rock star's guitar.
And let's talk about NHS's brand family – it's like the Avengers of skateboarding gear. They distribute the who's who of skate brands: Santa Cruz Skateboards (obviously), Creature Skates for the monster in you, Independent Truck Co. (the backbone of your board), Bronson Speed Co. (because who doesn't like speed?)!
