SANTA CRUZ - REISSUE PRO DECKS
Founded in 1973, three Santa Cruz-based friends and surfers, Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman joined forces in the sole surfboard industry, naming it 'NHS'. as an acronym of their names. The surfboard industry seemed to be a challenge for the boys, so they used some leftover wood from their surfboards to make skateboards instead, birthing the iconic brand 'Santa Cruz' which is now the oldest continuously running skateboard company.

With a new building skate culture and a rise in skateboarding thanks to their patent technology of the 'Road Runner' urethane wheel, which was the first skateboard wheel to have enclosed bearings, meant they needed to put together a superstar team to get their name on the map.
