We are proud to introduce you to the Santa Cruz Malba Tombstone Deck in a brand new black dipped colourway!
This never before reissued deck features spot gloss graphics on a super classic, never been reissued colorway, and 50th Anniversary decktop laser etched logo.
Whether you’re a new fan, old fan, or a collector, this one will be right at home under your feet or on your wall. Santa Cruz Reissue decks are no joke. They are build for riding until the end of time.
This reissue consists of a 7-ply North American Maple construction pressed individually using epoxy making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.
In the late ’70s and early ’80s, Santa Cruz led the charge from flat decks with little or no concave to the infamous tech concaves of the late ’80s. Early ’80s concave is based off of this evolution, with defined, mellow side-to-side concave and slight tail kick that was found on Santa Cruz’s Street Skate, RS/C, and pro models like the Malba Tombstone.

- Width: 10.24″ / Length: 29.72″
- Wheelbase: 15.75″

Meet Judi Oyama, a 63-year-old skateboarder who has been ripping the streets and skateparks for decades. As a pioneer of the sport, Judi was there for the inception of Independent Trucks and helped recruit many notable names to the Santa Cruz Skateboards team. But Judi’s love for skateboarding doesn’t stop there. To this day, she still competes in slalom competitions, and is even a member of the US Slalom Skateboarding team. In addition, Judi holds onto a treasure trove of skateboarding memorabilia, including rare boards, vintage magazines, and more. Join us as we dive into the inspiring story of this skateboarding legend and learn how she continues to push the limits and break barriers in the world of skateboarding, while preserving its rich history for future generations to enjoy.
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."
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?)!
