The Santa Cruz Skateboards Salba Witch Doctor Reissue is back for February 2026, resurrecting one of the most iconic graphics of the 1980s in full neon glory. Measuring 10.4″ x 32″ with a 15″ wheelbase, this deck stays true to Salba’s original shape and graphic, now paired with a teal stained top ply for that extra pop of visual punch.
Built with 7 ply North American Maple and pressed individually using epoxy, this board delivers a responsive, long-lasting ride with consistent concave and snap. The Old School concave gives a comfortable, classic feel with a mellow side-to-side arc and a longer tail kick, making it perfect for shaped setups, cruising, pool carving, or serious vert action.
The Witch Doctor artwork channels the energy of backyard ramp sessions and punk-fueled skate missions from a time when Salba was rewriting the rules of pool riding. Santa Cruz Skateboards, established in 1973 by Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, has remained one of skateboarding’s most influential brands through decades of progression and style.Â

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?)!
