Santa Cruz has survived and thrived through every era of skateboarding by staying true to its raw, artistic roots. Known for some of the most recognizable imagery in history, the brand is equally respected for its "Techne" approach to hardware. At The Drop, we trust Santa Cruz to deliver equipment that works for everyone from the grom getting their first board to the veteran pool skater.
Hardware Innovation: VX and Everslick Decks
Santa Cruz is a leader in deck construction, offering more than just standard 7-ply maple:
- VX Technology: These decks are thinner, stronger, and have more pop than standard boards. Built with 5 plys of North American Maple and 2 layers of Quad X technology, they are virtually indestructible.
- Everslick: A classic revival. These decks feature a specialized graphic application that makes them slide faster and further on any surface while protecting the wood from "razor tail."
- Pre-Issue & Reissue Shapes: For the transition and old-school fans, we stock classic shapes that pay homage to the 80s and 90s, updated with modern concave.
Iconic Art and Apparel
The contribution of artist Jim Phillips to Santa Cruz cannot be overstated. The Screaming Hand and the Classic Dot are more than logos; they are symbols of the skateboarders' identity. Our apparel selection includes:
- Heavyweight Hoodies: Built for the Canadian climate with durable fleece and bold back prints.
- Graphic Tees: Featuring seasonal artist collaborations and the core heritage line.
- Accessories: Everything from "Screaming Hand" socks to high-quality headwear.
Completes for Every Ability
We carry a wide range of Santa Cruz completes that come factory-assembled with high-quality components like Bullet Trucks and OJ Wheels. These are perfect for beginners who want a reliable, professional-feeling setup right out of the box without the guesswork of a custom build.
