Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck's shape significant?
The Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck reproduces the classic shape Christian Hosoi designed in the early 1980s, featuring a flat nose and no concave, which was a departure from other decks at the time and is widely credited with changing how skateboard decks were shaped afterward. This flat nose, no concave profile is distinct from the concave shapes standard on most modern street decks. Riders and collectors seek out this reissue specifically for that historical shape rather than for modern trick-oriented concave.
What are the dimensions of the Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck?
The Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck measures 10.5 inches wide, 31 inches long, with a 16 inch wheelbase, sizing that reflects the wider decks common in skateboarding's vert and pool-riding era of the early 1980s. This width is noticeably wider than most modern street decks, which commonly run closer to 8 to 8.5 inches. Riders looking for a deck to match that classic old-school riding style should expect this wider, flatter platform rather than a modern street shape.
What is the Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck made from?
The Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck is built from 7-ply hard rock maple and made in the USA, matching the traditional construction used on the original Hammerhead decks from the 1980s. This 7-ply maple build is the same general construction standard used across most classic and modern skateboard decks for durability and pop. The flat nose and lack of concave are what distinguish its ride feel from a standard modern deck, not the wood construction itself.
Is the Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck suited to street skating or old-school riding?
The Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck's flat nose, no concave shape rides very differently from a modern street deck, and it is generally chosen by riders interested in old-school, cruising, or pool-style riding rather than contemporary flip tricks. Its width and wheelbase are closer to what riders in the early 1980s used for vert and pool skating than what a modern street skater would pick. Riders coming from a modern popsicle deck should expect an adjustment period getting used to the lack of concave.
How does this black colorway of the Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck compare to the white version?
The Hosoi O.G. Hammerhead Skateboard Deck in black shares its exact 7-ply hard rock maple construction and 10.5 by 31 inch dimensions with SkatesUSA's white colorway of the same deck, the only difference being the finish color. Riders choosing between colorways are making a purely cosmetic decision, since the shape, construction, and ride feel are identical. Both are made in the USA to the same classic Hammerhead specification.
