Powell Peralta Geegah Ripper 9.75" x 30" Maroon Reissue Skateboard Deck. In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the "Gee-Gaw" shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. This shape was originally produced between 1987 and 1988. Single pressed with 7 ply US maple and premium glue.

Powell Peralta

Powell Peralta is one of the pioneering brands that has shaped and continues to shape the history of skateboarding. Based in California since 1978, the brand is a union of skills between George Powell (an engineer who made his first skateboard in 1957) and Stacy Peralta (one of the very fisrt professional skateboarder). Powell has always stood out for its spirit of innovation and is one of the few brands to own its own factories for the production of decks and wheels. Powell's graphics, such as the Ripper or the Dragon, are an integral part of skate culture.
