You heard that right! The Santa Cruz Salba Tiger Reissue deck is back and better than ever and a total blast from the past!
Featuring a classic shape that is well known and loved worldwide. This deck is designed for ultimate skate park and transition destruction. Made with 100% North American Maple. In addition, with a reissue concave makes this board great for park shredding, street skating, cruising or just hanging on the wall!
These reissues are built 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!
Santa Cruz has been on the ball with every change in skating. They were a key player in the late 70s when freestyle and slalom were all the rage and made a smooth transition to the ’80s pool craze. By incorporating their riders into product designs, Santa Cruz was able to excel and help revolutionize the skate scene. They made a beautiful transition into the street scene and were making some of the best slick decks of the 1990’s.

Today we are stoked to talk about and put to the test the 10.3 x 31.1 Salba ‘Tiger’ Reissue Deck! This board features one of the sickest graphics of all time! As a result, it has an adjustable wheelbase on this one, meaning you can choose between 14.5 inch and 15 inch options. In addition, we put Santa Cruz Skateboards Brand Manager Andrew Cannon to the test with three different challenges to find out how this setup skates!
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?)!
