Description: Attention Howard Hood / Smith Skateboards fans, this 1987 Smith skateboard deck is a rare gem that should not be missed. The deck is NOS. It is not a reissue. This is an original Hood from back in the day. This deck is over 37 years old and I’ve owned it for the past 30+ years. This deck has never been gripped or trucked. I still have the original plastic bag is came in. These weren't shrink wrapped. Featuring the hard to find Hood, Lions & Spears design, this vintage deck is a true collector's item for skateboard enthusiasts. This Smith deck not only showcases Hood's personality but also embodies the essence of skateboarding history. This deck is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the art and culture of skateboarding. This one is for the true collector. These decks are rated as ‘difficult’ to find. This deck has no major cosmetic issues. I've looked the board over multiple times and it still looks like it did the day it hit the shelves in skate shops, back in the day. Any white "marks" that show in the pictures, are actually just light reflecting off the wood grain of the deck. Howard Hood, known in skateboarding circles as a pioneer of street skating, started skateboarding in the mid-1970s. Inspired by the surf culture, he took up skateboarding as a teenager, drawn to the creativity and freedom the sport allowed. Hood honed his skills on the sidewalks and empty swimming pools, alongside other legendary skaters of the era. His style and approach to skateboarding helped shape modern street skating, and he became known for pushing the boundaries with innovative tricks and a fearless approach to urban obstacles.
