This one is not a true reissue. It's an old Birdhouse Hawk graphic recycled onto an old school "shape" deck.
Perfect for older (or young) riders who don't want a popsicle board but don't want to pay reissue prices which is often around £100 plus, in the UK!
I always loved this Hawk graphic. It's like a Hawk version of the Powell Steve Steadham 80s graphic. Stick the iconic Hawk blond hair on Steve's skull and you instantly know it's a Hawk!
Why is it called McSqueeb though???
This one is an early 1990s shape with a slightly shorter nose than tail kick. The shape is the most new skool of the 4 "Old School" Hawk decks and also the narrowest. Still a touch of "fish" to it but much more symmetrical looking than the other 3. This is what most modern pool decks look like - perfect for older 80s/90s riders who don't want a totally retro 80s reissue but just don't want a tiny popsicle either.
It's a great modern pool shape for the faster transition riders - exactly what you'd expect from a "Hawk". The 15.75" wheel base means this will be more stable than a lot of decks. A big nose but still a touch shorter than the tail.
Medium depth concave & steep kicks.
Note: Top Stain colours vary
Set up Advice:
Trucks - 159s / 8.75": Indy 159s, Film 6.0, Grindking 8.75" or Sushi 8.75" for a cheaper option. (149s would also be fine on this one, especially with a slightly wider wheel)
Wheels - Keep them 54mm or bigger for pool riding.
Transport Wheels - Santa Cruz "Slimeball "OG" which are 60mm diameter and 78a hardness. Soft, fast and smooth plus available in lots of old skool colours. Ricta Clouds or OJ Super Juice.
