New from Powell Peralta - at last!
Ripper decks in regular popsicle shapes and at regular deck prices, not reissue prices which they've done before.
We all know the "Ripper" - the most iconic Powell design ever originally penned by their artist VCJ.
It's made with 100% maple and designed for hitting backyard pools, the park, vert, street or ramps - sized for everywhere but big enough to interest old skoolers too.
Deep concave and steep kicks.

Note : The top is graphic free and comes with assorted different coloured stained top sheets or natural maple..
Powell on their new Rippers:
Our NEW Powell Peralta popsicles are made in our Skate One China factory using Skate One AirLam® presses, and the same maple and glue to match our engineering specifications. These new decks have assorted colour stained top veneers. They’re light, thin, have excellent torsional rigidity, and crisp pop.
Arguably the most iconic skateboard graphic of all time, "The Ripper" was illustrated in 1983 by legendary Powell-Peralta artist V.C. Johnson. Originally the graphic was used as a "Bones Sold Here" dealer window sticker. Next, the artwork found it's way onto T-shirts and eventually decks. The Ripper graphic has stood the test of time and has been a staple of the Powell-Peralta line for over 30 years.
- K20
- Mellow double kick concave with great foot feel between the trucks. The lower nose and tail angles allow for flatter, leveled-out pops, for shove-it and flip tricks. The mellow middle enables you to catch your board with the whole bottom of your foot instead of just your toes and heels, helping to eliminate the flapping that can occur with feet-off-the-board tricks.
- K21
- Stretched K20 concave to allow for a longer 15” - 15.5” wheelbase.
