Step back into the golden era of skateboarding with the Santa Cruz Roskopp Eye Reissue Deck. This iconic piece of skateboarding history celebrates one of the most recognizable and enduring graphics ever created, designed by the legendary Jim Phillips for pro skater Rob Roskopp. Perfect for collectors, old-school enthusiasts, or modern riders looking for a unique feel, this deck pays homage to the vibrant and impactful artistry of 80s skateboarding.

The “Roskopp Eye” graphic itself is instantly identifiable: a menacing, multi-eyed creature (often depicted as a “target eye” or a more monstrous “face” depending on the specific series) surrounded by bold colors and intricate details. It’s a testament to Jim Phillips’ genius and Rob Roskopp’s prominence in the skate scene. Santa Cruz regularly reissues these beloved graphics, often with updated touches like spot matte finishes, prismatic foils, or laser-engraved decktop logos, while meticulously replicating the original shapes and concaves.

This reissue deck is crafted with 7-ply North American Maple, pressed individually using epoxy. This construction ensures a strong, responsive deck with long-lasting pop and consistent concave and kick, a hallmark of Santa Cruz quality since 1973.

A key feature for these old-school shapes is the Cruz Missile II concave. This infamous tech concave from the 1980s is known for its aggressive, multi-dimensional side-to-side curvature and a pronounced tail kick. It often includes a forward-set rocker that comfortably locks your feet in key areas, providing a unique riding experience. This concave is ideal for:

• Cruising: Offering a stable and comfortable platform for street cruising.
• Transition Skating: Excelling in bowls, vert ramps, and pools, where the concave helps lock your feet in for control.
• Old-School Maneuvers: Perfect for nostalgic tricks and a classic feel.

Typical Dimensions (may vary slightly by specific reissue release):

• Width: Approximately 10.12 inches (or similar wide shapes like 9.62 inches for other Roskopp versions like the Target Eye).
• Length: Approximately 30.24 inches (or around 30-31 inches).
• Wheelbase: Approximately 14.9 inches (or adjustable, ranging from 14.25″ to 15.125″ for some variations).
• Nose Length: Varies, often around 3.88 inches.
• Tail Length: Varies, often around 6.46 inches.

Whether you’re mounting it on your wall as a piece of art or setting it up for shredding, the Santa Cruz Roskopp Eye Reissue Deck is a powerful symbol of skateboarding’s rich heritage and enduring style.
