Whenever you flip through a board company\u2019s new catalogue, it\u2019s now very common to see non-popsicle and odd-shaped boards given some level of prominence. The amount varies, with brands like Girl, Zero, and Deathwish having a small selection while popsicles are totally absent for Welcome Skateboards whereas some companies now only offer shaped boards ( Welcome Skateboards & Polar Skate Co.). This fascination burgeons from Skateboarding’s past, with the 80’s allowing skateboarders to truly experiment with skateboards shapes as fashion trumped function.<\/p>\n

While non-popsicle boards obviously have a long history of skateboarding, their current revival may exist as a reaction to a culture that is seen as becoming stagnant and watered-down, to some it’s just a change in their skating, something new to try to shake up their daily session, and to some it’s a stylish statement.<\/p>\n

It is so interesting to see how this current generation of shaped boards is taking so much inspiration from past shapes, bringing the retro flair to the forefront.<\/p>\n

With Skateboarding having such a rich history of shapes it is not suprising to see shapes of years gone by influencing the new-wave of shaped skateboards.<\/p>\n

You can see the lines drawn by Hosoi, Powell & H-Street in the lineups of Welcome, Polar and many more.<\/p>\n

Skateboarding continues to draw from it’s past and reappropriate old ideas into new shapes and concaves built for modern skating.<\/p>\n
