Santa Cruz x Jason Jessee x Sun God Complete


When I grabbed this Santa Cruz Sun God deck a few days ago, I was considering just hanging it on the wall. But then I thought, "screw it," and attached the Gullwing Trucks and enjoi rail. I don't think it's necessary to buy new wheels for a used deck, so I'm continuing to use an old set of Bones Wheels and Bronson Bearings.



To top it off, I'll be using MOB Grip and generic bulk hardware.

Santa Cruz x Jason Jessee x Sun God


I'm now at a phase where I want to ride old school skateboards and a seller posted an ad for this Santa Cruz Jason Jessee Sun God re-issue deck. There are some scuffs and dings, but the overall condition is superb. I myself have always wanted a Jason Jessee board and this just fell into my hands the most perfect way. It measures 9.9" wide by 29.7" in length. Part of me wants to skate this, the other part may leave this on the wall. Who knows.


In case I do feel like skating this deck, I grabbed a pair of used Gullwing Trucks and a set of enjoi Tummy Sticks.

The Royal Hawaiian Pool Service x Crows Nest Barber Shop x Grant's Golden Brand x Jason Jessee


This is really awesome deck I grabbed from an online seller. It's a quadruple collabo deck made by The Royal Hawaiian Pool Service with Crows Nest Barber Shop, Grant's Golden Brand pomade company, and influential/legendary Santa Cruz pro skater Jason Jessee. The unique shape and off the chart graphic is what drew me to this. It's a limited item, but will for sure put this together and cruise the streets.

Powell-Peralta Skateboards x Ripper


I was stoked to find a decently used and priced Powell-Peralta Ripper re-issue skateboard online. I was definitely sold on the shape with the pointed nose and squared tail. It measures 10" x 31.75" with very steep concave for a modern feel. For extra flair, I screwed a pair of enjoi Tummy Sticks rails. Unfortunately, it took multiple attempts and covered the damage with a few of my favourite stickers.


Upon receiving the board, the previous owner applied the grip tape poorly. Luckily, I had extra Jessup Grip and covered the top properly. Later on, I will add a set of trucks and I will make this board return to all its glory.
