banzai | skateboard series #1 azure - medium 23.5“ (60 cm)
celebrating an icon.
an exclusive reissue that celebrates one of the most famous skateboard designs of the 1970s. limited to an edition of 50 boards per color & size, each banzai skateboard comes in a high-grade collector’s box featuring an art print by one of the following artists: david carson, jay nelson, nathaniel russell, todd glaser, and cole barash.
this medium 23,5″ aluminum board is probably the closest you will ever get to the original 70s slalom vibe. the shaky behavior of its ancestors was deleted but the nimble and quick spirit of a short wheelbase were preserved. lower to the ground and with a narrow shape it demands a more controlled riding technique.
there is a reason why banzai skateboards are not assembled unlike today’s average slalom or cruiser boards. carefully assembling your personal banzai board from its components will give you a deeper understanding of its design and functionality. just take the custom-designed retro tool out of its leather case and get started. you will appreciate the beautiful finish and the hidden details and above all, put something of your own personality into it. skate on.
