The original Reaper. Foil finish. Back where it belongs.
The Santa Cruz Corey O'Brien Reaper Foil Reissue Deck brings back one of the most significant graphics in skateboarding history — not just as a collectible, but as a board that actually changed the game. When the Reaper first dropped in the late 1980s, it became Santa Cruz's first ever street pro model, outselling vert boards and proving that street skating had a future. Decades later, the flame-throwing skeleton by artist Jim Phillips still hits the same way — now rendered in neon and metallic prints over a silver kaleidoscope-to-black fade foil that makes it impossible to ignore. A 2025 Reissue laser-engraved decktop logo marks its return.
Built on Corey O'Brien's original SC-146 reissue shape at 9.85" wide with a 15" wheelbase, this deck is pressed from 7-ply North American maple using epoxy resin for lasting pop, strength, and reliable performance. The Old School concave keeps it true to the era — comfortable side-to-side contours with a continuous tail kick that works naturally under your feet for cruising, pools, transition, and old-school setups. This is a deck you set up and skate, hang on your wall, or both. Either way, you don't pass it up.

About Santa Cruz Skateboards
Santa Cruz Skateboards was established in 1973 by Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, who founded NHS Inc. in Santa Cruz, California. One of the true originals, Santa Cruz didn't just survive the shifting tides of skateboarding — it helped shape them, building a legacy across street, park, vert, and everything in between. In 2023, NHS celebrated its 50th anniversary — a milestone few brands in any action sport can match. Corey O'Brien was one of the brand's defining street skating voices of the late 1980s, and the Reaper — brought to life by house artist Jim Phillips — became the board that proved street skating could headline. This reissue carries every bit of that weight.
