The Legend Behind Hosoi Skateboards
Christian Hosoi was all about speed, style, and going higher than anyone else. His rocket air was next-level and became one of the most legendary tricks in vert skating.
In the ‘80s, Hosoi was right there with heavyweights like Mark “Gonz” Gonzales, John Lucero, and Tony Alva. They weren’t just skating—they were changing the game. Hosoi’s style and attitude turned him into an icon, and that’s what makes Hosoi Skateboards a symbol of pure style and performance today.
The Build That Gives Hosoi Decks Their Edge
There’s a reason every Hosoi skateboard deck commands attention, whether it’s under your feet or hanging on a wall. These decks carry Christian Hosoi’s legacy, combining style, craftsmanship, and performance in every build. They’re made for skaters who want gear that holds up and looks sharp doing it.
The OG Hammerhead shape broke all the rules when it first dropped. It changed the way decks were designed and skated—and that mindset still runs through every Hosoi deck today. These aren’t just throwbacks—they’re built to perform.
What makes Hosoi decks stand out comes down to three things. Let’s break it down—deck shape variety, high-quality maple wood, and iconic graphic designs.
Shapes That Work
Hosoi decks bring that old school vibe with shapes that still hold up for today’s skaters. The OG Hammerhead was built for vert and bowls, but its design works just as well for street sessions if you know how to handle it.
From the wide nose to the longer wheelbase, it’s all about stability and control. And while Hosoi keeps it classic, we’d back a popsicle shape if they ever dropped one—versatility is in their DNA.
Pro-Grade Maple Decks
Every Hosoi deck is built with a 7-ply maple that can handle serious sessions. The construction gives you solid strength, with just the right amount of flex and pop to keep things feeling responsive underfoot.
The Gonz 93 deck is a perfect example. It’s made to take heavy landings without losing that snappy feel, whether you’re skating ramps or the street. Hosoi doesn’t cut corners—these decks are built to last.
Timeless Deck Artwork
Bold graphics have always been a Hosoi trademark. The Shocker design and the legendary Hammerhead Double Kick are a big part of what makes these decks collectible—whether you’re skating them or hanging them on your wall.
The Gonz 93 deck keeps that tradition alive with artwork that’s just as striking now as it was back in the day. Clean lines, bright colours, and a style that’s impossible to miss.
What Makes Hosoi Skateboards a Collector's Item?
Some decks are built to ride. Others become part of skate history. Hosoi Skateboards O.G decks are both. These are the shapes and graphics that helped define vert skating, and they still carry serious weight in any collection today.
Limited runs, small batches, and classic reissue decks make them a solid choice for collectors and skaters chasing something rare. These boards don’t just sit on shelves for long. If you’re after a piece of skateboarding legacy, this is where it starts. Once they’re gone, they might not come back!
