Santa Cruz Tom Knox Firepit Reissue Deck – Kaleidoscope Foil Edition
Straight from the inferno of late-’80s skate history comes the Tom Knox Firepit—back to melt minds and rails alike. Santa Cruz’s 2026 Reissue revives one of the most sinister graphics ever burned into wood, drawn by master artist Jim Phillips and fueled by Knox’s explosive style.
The cyan flames, molten skeletons, and metallic detailing all roar to life with a Kaleidoscope Foil underlay and matte finish, igniting the artwork with a hypnotic shimmer that changes with every flicker of light.
This reissue stays true to the OG 1989 Firepit shape, molded from Santa Cruz’s original concave and dimensions—wide, stable, and built for aggressive lines. The 10.07” width and 31.275” length give you plenty of real estate for pool carving or street charging, while the 15” wheelbase keeps it fast and responsive. Seven plies of North Hard Rock Maple, pressed to perfection.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into and rigorously testing the 10.07 x 31.275 Tom Knox Reissue Firepit Deck.

Throughout this video, we’ll meticulously analyze each aspect of the products and explain what makes them outstanding.
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?)!
