Easily one of the coolest Natas’ pro models, this Kitten comes in a dope Cruise Missile II shape that is a blast to ride bowls, street, or to cruise on. Mr. Kaupas did it all, so can you.
Natas Kaupas is a street skating pioneer that has been involved in Santa Cruz Skateboards since 16 years old, he is believed to be the first person to attempt a boardslide down a handrail. He also invented the Natas Spin. Natas did it first time 720 degrees on a fire hydrant and the history was made.
Santa Cruz Reissue decks are no joke. They are build for riding until the end of time. Tough sturdy construction with shapes that are both user friendly and capture the old school feeling of riding when all that mattered was your buddies and a bowl. All the decks are drilled with the new school pattern so you can also use your favorite trucks on them. Slap some board rails on and have fun!

Following on from last weeks release of Dylan Rieder’s La Casa Artists Residency, we are happy to drop the second part in this series – Natas Kaupas. Two generations of skateboarding came together for ten days in the idyllic La Casa surrounds to build a mini-ramp, skate, relax and create. Filmed, edited and directed by Riley Blakeway.
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?)!
