Charging in with full head of steam is the Santa Cruz Winkowski Ghost Train Shaped Deck!
The Winkowski Ghost Train deck features a classic and timeless shape that features a longer nose for a retro ride, with wheelbase of 15″. As a result, a super fun skate park ripper or put soft wheels and make it a super fun cruiser.Â
Erick Winkowski’s signature original shape deck is here. With an original ’80s influenced shape, this wider deck is very reminiscent of old Santa Cruz designs, but modernized for today’s skateboarding.Â
Featuring the signature Cruz Missile II concave which is Santa Cruz’s infamous tech concave from the 1980’s. With aggressive, multi-dimensional side to side concave and tail kick along with forward set rocker that comfortably lock in your feet in key areas for a completely unique riding experience – cruising the streets or skating transition on old school or shaped decks with longer tail than nose.
This deck features a signature 7-ply North American Maple build that is pressed individually using epoxy making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick. A super fun skate park ripper or put soft wheels and make it a super fun cruiser.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?)!
