Why Old School Decks Are Making a Comeback

While modern decks are built for technical street skating, old school decks offer a unique riding experience with their wider shape, bigger kicktails, and retro aesthetics. This renewed interest has led to a wave of reissue skateboard decks, bringing back iconic designs from legends like Christian Hosoi, Corey O'Brien, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Per Welinder, and Rodney Mullen. These reissues allow skaters to connect with the roots of skateboarding while enjoying the classic feel and style of old school decks.

What Makes Old School Decks So Unique?

Old school skateboard decks hold a special place in skateboarding history, representing an era of creativity, individuality, and pure fun. Modern decks are known for their popsicle shape and techy specs, while old school decks bring a unique flavour to the table.

They're all about individuality and expression, from their distinctive shapes and sizes to their vibrant graphics and retro aesthetics. Whether you're into freestyle, street, or even longboard cruising, old school decks offer a ride that's both nostalgic and exhilarating.

Here’s what makes these decks so special and why they're still turning heads in the skatepark:

Deck Shape and Size

Old school skateboard decks are renowned for their wider shape and bigger kicktails, which make them ideal for freestyle tricks and carving bowls. They often feature a flatter nose and tail compared to modern decks, giving them a distinct feel and riding style. The larger size and wider wheelbase provide added stability and control, making them a great choice for beginners and seasoned skaters alike. Plus, their unique shapes, like the classic fishtail or the iconic pig shape, add a touch of personality to your skate setup.

Material and Construction

Back in the day, skateboard decks were primarily made of wood, often maple, and featured simple construction techniques. These decks were known for their durability and responsiveness, allowing skaters to push their limits and experiment with new tricks. You might also find old school decks with natural wood stains like black stain, green stain, brown stain, teal stain, or even aqua. The raw materials and straightforward construction give these decks a timeless feel and an authentic connection to skateboarding's roots.

Graphic Design and Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most striking features of old school skateboard decks is their eye-catching graphic designs. From vibrant colours and bold patterns to iconic characters and logos, these decks are a canvas for artistic expression. Whether it's a classic camo pattern, a rad 80s-inspired design, or a vintage cartoon character, old school deck graphics are all about showcasing your personality and making a statement on the streets.

The Brands That Shaped Skateboarding

At OCD Skate Shop, we're proud to stock a wide selection of old school skateboard decks from the brands that shaped the sport. We're talking legends like Powell Peralta, the powerhouse behind the Bones Brigade, and Santa Cruz, known for their iconic screaming hand logo.

You'll find decks from pioneers like Dogtown, who revolutionised skateboarding in the 70s, and Schmitt Stix, famous for their innovative designs and neon graphics. These brands aren't just names—they're a legacy, and their decks are a testament to the creativity and passion that fuelled skateboarding's rise to fame.
