Description
 



I will highly consider any reasonable offer.
OKAY! HERE YOU HAVE ONE OF THE HOLY GRAIL BOARDS FOR ANY SKATEBOARD COLLECTOR. This is one if not the most iconic and important skateboard graphic in the history of skateboarding. It very rarely comes up for auction most likely because they are secure in collectors collections. Santa Cruz started production on this board in 1979 and in 81ish they started to add the routed edges for grabs along with less strips. I am confident to say
1981-82ish. This is the 5 strip version. The green and black and yellow and black strip are more rare but that being said it is super difficult to find the early DP decks in solid shape. It was always my dream to own this deck and its has been awesome enjoying it. But now it is time for someone else to add to that special collection. You won't be disappointed with this one!VINTAGE DUANE PETERS 1981-82ish DECK. This board is a definitely the highlight to any collection. Its a huge pig size board measuring 11"x31" Great for those "Acid Drops" I won't go into the details about how important DP is to the history of skateboarding. They don't call him the "Master of Disaster" for no reason.
 
Peters is credited for inventing many tricks, such as the "acid drop" into a pool/bowl, the "layback grind", the "Indy air", the "Sweeper", the "backside layback grind revert", the "fakie hang-up" (a.k.a. "Disaster"), the "invert revert", the "fakie thruster". Peters was one of the very first high-profile skaters embrace punkrock cutting his hair short dying his hair and narrowing his jeans when most skaters were still wearing 1970s fashions. Peters was named Transworld Skateboarding's "Legend" in 2003.
This deck is highly sought after and in great condition considering its age. Please refer condition details and photos for further info. No warp. International buyers please note: I use the Ebay Global shipping program to ship and track all skateboard deck purchases. Thanks for looking and best of luck with offers or easy BIN.I always package with care.I HATE TO GIVE THIS ONE UP!!!!!!!!!
