Santa Cruz Skateboards

Boards and graphics with history - Santa Cruz skateboard decks

Santa Cruz decks have, thanks to their catchy graphics, a very high recognition value. In the mid-70s, freelance artist Jim Phillips was brought on board and created the iconic "Screaming Hands" logo and numerous other designs for the brand.

In addition to the "Screaming Hands" design, the classic "Red Dot" logo is one of the most famous skateboard graphics ever. Santa Cruz decks range from the standard popsicle shape to cruisers after old-school templates. Santa Cruz Skateboards offers a wide selection for beginners as well. From beginner-friendly complete boards in smaller sizes to completes in oldschool shape - everyone will find something at Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz is not a skate brand that dates back to yesterday and proves this with the different deck constructions. In addition to 7-ply standard decks, the range also includes more innovative Santa Cruz skate decks. Decks with the "Powerply" technology, for example, have a plastic insert in the nose and tail, thus preventing splitting (chipping) and provide longer lasting pop. The Santa Cruz VX technology also provides longer lasting pop. You can find even more information on this in our skate test on our skatedeluxe blog.

The Santa Cruz hardgoods range is rounded off with a large selection of Santa Cruz typical Slime Ball wheels and Slimeline deck rails.

Iconic logos and casual cuts - the apparel from Santa Cruz

The clothing of Santa Cruz Skateboards ties seamlessly to the iconic deck graphics. In the Santa Cruz shop at skatedeluxe you will find a wide range of t-shirts, longsleeves and hoodies with different variations of the "Screaming Hand" logo and much more.

The apparel from Santa Cruz is basically unisex, but especially for female skaters, Santa Cruz has the Nolan Chino Pant, the Nolan Carpenter Pant and the Coombe Pant in their range. The pants are all cut a little looser, have a straight leg and are first-class pants for skating.

In addition to proven clothing items like coach jackets, swim trunks and tank tops, you'll also find a wide selection of accessories at Santa Cruz. Here Santa Cruz provides you with caps, socks, belts, wallets and one or the other gimmick such as keychains.

The Santa Cruz Skate Team

Besides skate legends like Eric Dressen, Steve Alba and Tom Knox, the Santa Cruz Skateboards team consists of a healthy mix of young rippers who leave nothing between street, bowl and vert. Currently riding for the brand are Erik Winkowski, Fabiana Delfino, Blake Johnson, Jake Wooten, Kevin Braun, Yndiara Asp and Justin Sommer.

In addition to many smaller edits focused on the individual team riders, Santa Cruz regularly releases full-length videos. These always score points with progressive skating and a young team that carries the legacy of one of the most legendary skate brands lightly on their shoulders.
