The Santa Cruz Skateboards Roskopp Five Reissue marks the return of the fifth and final deck in the iconic Target series from Rob Roskopp, officially slated for an August 2026 release. Featuring the unmistakable artwork of Jim Phillips, this reissue stays true to the original 1980s aesthetic while delivering the strength and consistency expected from a modern Santa Cruz build. The deck measures a bold 10.22 inches wide on Rob’s custom shape, matched with a stable 15.46 inch wheelbase and finished in a fully dipped cool grey stain that looks as good on the wall as it does under your feet.
Constructed from 7-ply North American maple and pressed individually using epoxy, this deck offers long-lasting pop, responsive feel, and reliable strength session after session. The Cruz Missile II concave is Santa Cruz’s legendary tech concave from the 1980s, defined by aggressive multi-dimensional side-to-side concave, pronounced tail kick, and a forward-set rocker that naturally locks your feet into control points. This unique profile delivers a confident, locked-in ride that excels at cruising, fast lines, and transition skating, especially on old-school and shaped decks with a longer tail than nose. Founded in 1973, Santa Cruz Skateboards has remained one of skateboarding’s most influential and enduring brands, continually blending innovation with deep respect for its heritage. The Roskopp Five Reissue stands as both a faithful piece of skateboard history and a fully skateable deck built for modern sessions.

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?)!
