Tom Groholski is one of the most stylistically unique skaters to ever grace a vert ramp. In 1984 Tom got on Vision Skateboards, and proceeded to release many classic shapes and graphics. Toms crouched and fast style creates an individual style that anyone enjoys. Tom is well known for his hurricane grinds, showcased by the graphics on this deck, drawn in a sweet 80’s style.
This deck has a very distinct shape, and would be great to skate on any kind of terrain, street, park or pool. This board is a mini, which is a scaled down version of the original board, but with the exact same shape. The small size of this board would make it especially fun for flip tricks, and it would look great doing so, but of course you could rip some transition up on this board as well. Grab this skate and go do some hurricane grinds!

The Jersey Devil, Tom Groholski, was our first fly in guest. He brought so much material to the table that we cut this week’s Loveletters to Skateboarding into two parts.
Started in 1976 by Brad Dorfman, Vision initially began as a skateboard brand, sponsoring the likes of Mark Gonzales, Mark 'Gator' Rogowski and Tom Groholski.
In the early 80's Vision sports released their first pro model skateboard for skater Mark 'Gator' Rogowski.
This was followed by a release of a pro model deck for skater Mark Gonzales, both designed by Los Angeles-based artist Andy Takakjian.
Gonzales went on to release a few more pro models with Vision before departing to form Blind Skateboards, (a play-on words with Vision) with World Industries.
Vision was also one of the first skate brands to connect with the subculture of music, releasing skate decks from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beastie Boys and Agent Orange.
