The SMA Girl on a Plane deck, in its vibrant orange color, measures 29.25 inches in length and 9.5 inches in width, with a 15-inch wheelbase. This reissue not only offers a nod to SMA’s rich history but also caters to both old-school collectors and new generations of skaters.
Santa Monica Airlines (SMA), deeply rooted in the vibrant surf and skate culture of Santa Monica since its inception in 1978, began its journey in the humble confines of Zephyr’s surf shop. This location soon became a cornerstone in the skateboarding community, as SMA emerged during a pivotal time in the sport’s evolution, capturing the essence of the coastal city.
A standout in SMA’s history is the craftsmanship of Skip Engblom. His approach to creating skateboards was far from mere assembly; it was a craft driven by passion and precision, reflecting his deep commitment to skateboarding and its culture. Engblom’s hand-shaped boards were more than just skateboarding tools; they were pieces of art that encapsulated the spirit of Santa Monica’s skate scene.
The enduring legacy of SMA and Skip Engblom’s unique craftsmanship has led to the reissue of these iconic boards, including the SMA Girl on a Plane deck.
