Skateboard Spotlight: Hosoi Hammerhead Reissue

The modern reissue... Hosoi Hammerhead with double kick and modern concave is the best of everything. One of the most iconic decks of the 80's with a modern edge - simply rad. I set it up with Indy 169's, Alva Conicals 59mm 101a and .5" risers. Now if I can just get my hands on a longboard version. Skateparks: Toms River, Brick.

Nips,I had the Hosoi street model back in"88".

[@skaterly]

such a great deck

[@angrytater2456]

I had that deck as well. Santa Cruz, right? Sorry my memory is fading and Hosoi moved around a lot. My first hammerhead was made by Skull Skates. Huge board with very little concave.
