An amazing specimen with a cool story go go with it. The seller wrote "Up for auction today is a NOS '86 Santa Cruz Keith Meek "Slasher" skateboard deck. Art by one of the greatest skate/ surf artist ever walk the earth, Jim Phillips. No re-issue here. Straight up real deal. From exchanging details with other deck heads and Meek himself, I've only been able to conclude there are maybe 4 known NOS models floating around. Maybe 3 as I can't tie the one in Phillips art book and the one Meek states he has as the same one. Might be 3. Hens teeth NOS maybe a better description. As well stated was there was probably a run of 20000 done at the time. Not a large number when compared to other Santa Cruz Models.This to some is most assuredly a hole in their NOS Santa Cruz collection. Few storage marks. But nothing otherwise that would turn you off. Tight.".
Currently selling for $676.00 with 15 bids and less than two days here.

ReplyDeleteLooking for some history on this board. I have a ORIGINAL foam airtech slasher. Can't find much info on the worth. Ruined soo many old skates in the 80's but knew this board was a shit to ride. It was a cool board so it stayed in the closet for years. It has the sticker that I was told was a proto till the silk screen model.Does anybody have info or intest.
ReplyDeleteThe Slasher airtech deck that had the decals used instead of screen printing came after the screen printed airtechs.

I have this deck, complete. I ride it all the time because its my style, I'm 36. Kids at the skate parks these days don't even have a clue. I grew up skating Derby Park in Santa Cruz. I just got a new Long board set-up, and put the old Slasher up on e-bay. starting bid $5.00. Maybe its better in a collection, I love to ride it! Live to Ride, Ride to Live.
