POWELL PERALTA MIKE McGILL SKATEBOARD F14 1983

/ 15 days ago

all_things_analog has Mike McGill deck from Powell Peralta that has been coasting under the radar. Check out his description he knows more than me. “To start with, when the F-14 was first released in 1981 it came in a 6-ply wood/fiberglass construction, distinguished by the smooth, rounded wheel-wells, and a two-color screen-printed graphic. A 7-ply wood model was then introduced with the traditional, if not trademark, Powell-Peralta wheel-wells and the addition of a short-lived “7-ply Hardrock Maple” tagline* to the same two-color graphic.

At some point in either late-1982 or early-1983, Powell-Peralta added a third screen-printed color to its production boards and introduced a new version of the F-14 graphic—the main difference being a revised rendering of the jet exhaust. The F-14 was eventually retired in 1984 and replaced by the iconic Skull & Snake, an image much more synonymous with Mike McGill.

This rare board is the 1983 7-ply incarnation complete and as originally set up with its independent trucks and g&s yoyo wheels. The board was not abused and is definitely in very nice shape. Original powell peralta sticker is even preserved. There are a couple of minor scratches and divots, but that’s to be expected for a skateboard that was ridden.”
