The Powell Peralta GeeGah Skull and Sword design is steeped in rich history. The Skull and Sword graphic has proved itself time and time again, it is here to stay. In a beautiful silver dip, in a standout shape what more could you want? The Skull and Sword graphic has stood the test of time and has been a staple of the Powell-Peralta line for over 30 years.
Check out the new Powell-Peralta GeeGah Skull and Sword Skateboard Deck! In 1986, jump ramps were all the rage. They were easy to build, portable and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. As such, Powell-Peralta deck returns were crazy high! So, the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. So what was the solution?
One major solution was the “Gee-Gaw” shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why “Gee-Gaw?”It was dubbed by Chris Iverson while working inhouse on the design. The shape was also used for the Ripper graphic. They were originally produced between 1987 and 1988.
Shred a slice of the past with this iconic graphic, in a standout colourway!

In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. Easy to build, portable and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the "Gee-Gaw" shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why "Gee-Gaw?" Ask Chris Iverson. This shape was also used for the Ripper graphic.
