The Santa Cruz Meek Slasher Pinstripe Reissue revives the legendary late-’80s design ridden by Jeff Meek, originally drawn by artist Jim Phillips. This version combines the original artwork and shape with modern manufacturing to deliver a rideable collector’s piece.
 
Design and Artwork
The Pinstripe variant features the iconic “Slasher” graphic—an explosive skeleton surfer charging through a wave—outlined with sharp linework and classic hot-rod pinstriping. The artwork is screen-printed over a full-color dip veneer, often in bold blues, reds, or metallic finishes, and includes a top-deck laser-etched “Reissue” logo for authenticity.
 
Construction and Concave
Built with 7-ply North American maple and pressed individually using epoxy, this deck offers a durable, responsive ride while preserving the vintage look and feel. It features a mellow old-school concave with a wide standing platform, comfortable curves, and a single kicktail—ideal for cruisers, bowls, and display alike.
