The year was 1973. Doug Haut, Jay Shuirman, and Richard Novak founded (NHS Inc.) Santa Cruz Skateboards. With over 25 years behind them, Santa Cruz is going strength to strength. It has long been respected as one of the original companies to offer skateboard accessories and clothing. While others merely survived, Santa Cruz Skateboards has modernised, they have innovated, and they continue to fight to stay ahead of the pack.
Santa Cruz Skateboards
It’s how they got their start, so why wouldn’t you be interested in checking out Santa Cruz skateboard decks? With such a wide range to choose from, you are sure to find a board that suits your needs or will make the perfect gift! If you want to recapture your youth with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles deck, you can! If you prefer soft pastels, there is a slick design for you. Hard rock, death party, maple, screaming hand, Descendents, vintage, faces, and beyond. There really is a wide range of options to choose from, no matter what your style. You will even find several longboards to choose from if you’re looking to branch out.
Santa Cruz Skateboarding Equipment
As every skateboarder knows, the deck is just the beginning. The equipment you purchase provides you with additional opportunities to customise your set-up. There are trucks, wheels, bearings, grip, shoe goo, and more. A custom set-up is necessary for every skater who wants to tweak their board to cater to their boarding needs. If you’re a casual skater who simply enjoys the wind in your hair as you ride down the beach, then you might not want to get too custom. However, if you hit the skateboard park to ride the halfpipe, then you want a board that is an extension of yourself. The equipment that you choose is what helps you build a board that fits your skateboarding needs.
Santa Cruz Skateboarding Stickers
Speaking of customisation, stickers are another way you can stamp your personality on a board. Santa Cruz offers single stickers or packs. The screaming hand is synonymous with Santa Cruz and there is a wide range of screaming hand options to choose from. You can choose the flaming screaming hand, a pastel number, the Hulk, Ninja Turtles, the monster or, the traditional screaming hand. If you aren’t interested in the screaming hand, you can opt for the screaming mouth, a simple Santa Cruz sticker or, the skating slasher skull.
Santa Cruz Bike Frames
Santa Cruz doesn’t cater solely for skateboarders. They have branched out into bike frames and bikes as well, whether you’re looking for a high-tower, highball or a tallboy. There are also plenty of mountain bike frames to choose from. Now, some riders are happy to purchase a bike as it comes. They don’t have specific needs they want to tailor their mount to. However, for the serious cycler, purchasing a bike frame offers freedom. The freedom to choose the right parts every step of the way. You can build your custom bike from the frame out.
If you are looking for the perfect gift for your cycling loved one, then consider purchasing the frame and letting them build it as they please. It’s not just an exciting DIY project, building your own custom bike is a popular option for serious cyclers.

Santa Cruz Men’s Coats and Jackets
Santa Cruz offers lightweight jackets ideal for skating in light rain or simply staving off the wind on a winter’s evening. There are heavier options for keeping out the cold.
