Screaming Hand Mid Sk8 Completes, Orange, 7.80 x 31

THE REWRITE:

In 1973, three surf rats from Santa Cruz, California - Rich Novak, Jay Shuirman, and Doug Haut - decided to join forces and start a surf brand among their friends. They incorporated their company as NHS Inc. (Novak, Haut, Shuirman - NHS), and began their journey in the surfboard business.

However, the surfboard business proved to be tougher than they had anticipated. It was a highly competitive industry, and the margins were very slim. Nonetheless, they persevered, and eventually, a surf shop in Hawaii called them, asking to place an order for some skateboards.

Seizing the opportunity, Novak, Shuirman, and Haut decided to make some skateboard decks using the extra materials they had laying around for their surfboards. This marked the birth of the first-ever Santa Cruz skateboards in 1973, making them the oldest continuously running skateboard brand on earth.

As the skateboard business grew, Doug Haut decided to sell his shares in NHS and follow his passion of making surfboards. He founded Haut Surfboards and Haut Surf Shop, where he has since produced tens of thousands of surfboards over the years. His dedication and skill in the industry earned him an induction into the Surfing Hall of Fame in 2012.

Meanwhile, Novak and the crew at NHS were also recognized for their contributions to the skateboarding world. In 2013, they were inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame, winning the prestigious Icon Award.

Today, the Screaming Hand 7.8" skateboard complete from Santa Cruz is a testament to the brand's enduring legacy. Crafted with a 7-ply maple construction and featuring mellow kicktails, this skateboard offers a perfect blend of pop and responsiveness. The medium concave allows for effortless carving and flipping, while the iconic Screaming Hand logo on the bottom ply adds an element of style to any shred session.

Delivered fully assembled and ready to ride, the Screaming Hand 7.8" skateboard complete from Santa Cruz is the perfect choice for those seeking a blend of classic style and modern performance. Ride in style and add a touch of history to your skating experience.
