Powell Peralta is skateboarding history — the brand behind the Bones Brigade, the most influential team the sport has ever seen, and graphics so iconic they're tattooed on people. Home of the skull-and-sword, the Ripper, and decades of decks, wheels and reissues that define skate culture. At Twelve Board Store and SoCal Skates we carry a deep Powell range, in stock and shipping free Australia-wide.
Founded in 1978 by engineer George Powell and pro skater Stacy Peralta, Powell Peralta became the defining brand of skateboarding's 1980s explosion. The Bones Brigade — Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Tommy Guerrero and more — was the most stacked team in skate history, and the brand's videos and graphics (Vernon Courtlandt Johnson's skull-and-sword artwork, the Ripper) shaped the entire visual language of skating. Still independently run and still making product the right way, Powell carries more genuine heritage than almost any brand in the game.
What Powell Is Known For
Powell Peralta covers decks, wheels, and a huge catalogue of reissue and old-school shapes alongside modern popsicle decks. They're known for durable construction (their Flight decks are famously tough), legendary graphics, and bridging skate history with current product. Whether you want a modern street deck, a cruiser, or an old-school reissue to relive the ‘80s, Powell delivers — and their Bones-adjacent wheel heritage runs deep too.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
