way back in the day during the mid to late 70's in hawaii there was one pool in particular that was getting a lot of coverage in the o.g. skateboarder magazine, what pool you ask - the legendary pearl city pool. a kinked, steep and leaking right hand kidney was ripped by the brave. this was a permission pool, only thing you had to pay a fee to ride ......a few pocket shillings. here we have our old friend jasper warren blasting a classic front-side aerial. note his original vans eras and the norcon pads.

old old friends of the rhps ~ the one and only "back to back world champ" pony boy (eric d) and the "pirate at large" (jason j). two of the best from the 80's and still hanging in there today. a little heavier and grey hairs but they still hold weight. skate culture kings who have been the blueprint for generations.
eric - best salad grinds (his signature trick)
jj - best anything to fakie (methods & andrechts/inverts)

fun little slash bowl built for the kids and the BIG kids. located in the backyard of the place next to the other place near the big tree with mangos and coconut trees next to it. if you get lost turn left at the corner store and head south for 315 miles or just call them at ph#888-get-lost, ask for the "no joke moke."
see you there for the session.

so here are the details from our previous post...
releasing in a few weeks we have a special guest deck for our buddy max schaaf. long time vertical ripper and era correct 2 wheel builder, he has gone the distance and back to prove his longevity in the game. we appreciate max's creative work and skate history - so here it is, the rhps/schaax custom designed guest model. we wanted to tie the art into one of tv shows that helped define hawaii in the 60's and 70's. the one and only o.g. steve mcgarrett returns on the well known 4q chopp ripping it up in the green room drawn by our friend jason t. in a style that fits: r. griffin inspired. these decks will release in a very limited small run. collect them or grip & rip them. offered in various sizes at a handful of select shops and direct from us.

bulky getting down in with a stylish tuck-knee wheeler. as salba has told us many times - steve olson was the first punk rock skater (slightly before DP and associates). olson planted the seed to what has become the look/lifestyle of mall rats for the last few decades. note: one of the earliest suicidal tendencies sticker on his deck. circa early 80's / photo: glen e. friedmanrespects to steve-rhps
