The Santa Cruz Skateboards Natas Kaupas Panther Reissue brings back one of the most recognizable graphics and shapes from skateboarding’s formative street era. Featuring the original Natas Panther artwork, this reissue uses his OG 10.54″ x 30.14″ shape with a 15.39″ wheelbase, 3.9″ nose and 6.65″ tail. The entire deck is finished in Candy Metallic Blue paint, giving the classic graphic an especially rich, period-inspired presentation.
The deck is constructed from individually pressed 7-ply North American maple bonded with epoxy for a strong, responsive ride with consistent concave, durable pop and a solid feel underfoot. Santa Cruz’s Old School concave adds a comfortable side-to-side curve with a continuous tail kick, making foot placement natural whether the deck is being ridden on transition, cruised through the streets or set up as a classic old-school complete. The longer tail and compact nose preserve the unmistakable proportions of Natas’ original shape.
Santa Cruz Skateboards was founded in Santa Cruz, California in 1973 by Richard Novak, Doug Haut and Jay Shuirman through NHS Inc. Decades later, the brand remains deeply connected to skateboard history through its influential riders, graphics, shapes and ongoing commitment to both classic reissues and modern skateboarding.

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."
