In the Spring of 1980, The Powell "Brite-Lite" line of decks was given a graphic update: a big triple P logo with a Powell-Peralta logo beneath. The Jay Smith graphic was essentially the new Brite-Lite design with his name splashed over the 3-P logo. Later versions the 3-P was replaced by an iron cross.  Jay was a Marina local who embraced the punk scene and was famously known for his super contorted layback grinds. Some called him the "rubberman."

Powell-Peralta™ Re-Issue Construction

Powell-Peralta re-issue decks are close reproductions of their 1980’s counterparts, featuring the original Pro graphics and shape, top graphic logo and concave. They are manufactured in our Santa Barbara skateboard factory, which is still directed by a few of the same craftsmen that made them originally.
