Old School Decks

[steelcouch]

I never did have one of those types of boards. Mine were the 7 and 9 ply wood boards. I was skateboarding till the first of this year when I had my knee surgery. Hope to get back on and be able to do most of things I was before the surgery. Dont look like its gonna happen anytime soon. Bought some of the old school re released boards for my oldest son and daughter in hopes I could teach them a little of what I used to do.

Mine was a multi ply board too. I found some info on it and a picture. Of course it looks like it is worth some $$$ now. I never knew it was this iconic. Figures.


"G&S Doug Saladino Pine Design – Doug "Pineapple" Saladino was one of the most popular skaters of the 1970s. The Pine Design shown here is his first pro model. It is very similar to the Proline 300, except that it is larger, has the cool two-tone blue plys laminated, and it features the oh-so-critical Pine Design stickers. Again, the grip tape is factory cut around the top sticker, but this time the top sticker is a smaller version of the Pine Design logo that adorns the bottom of the deck. What else can be said of the Pine Design logo, it is an icon of the era, a masterpiece of marketing and design, the merging of skateboarding and offshore produce. I don't know how many pineapples were sold, but I do know that this was one of the most popular decks of the 70s. Of course, you may have a little difficulty trying to find one now."
