Dusters

Dusters

Dusters provide a great range and style of vintage inspired complete skateboards to shredders who love to "surf the streets". The surf culture is basically one of the primary influences of the brand - when the oceans are calm, the youth need to do something on land to enjoy their laid-back idle time. Dusters are known for designing vintage-looking boards that are great for cruising, but they also offer smaller boards for bowl or pool skating.

Dusters Complete Skateboards - UK Shop

Vintage style skateboards are here again and giving a nostalgic feel to every rider who owns them. One of the popular brands that bring us back to this iconic style of skateboards is Dusters. The brand is situated at the heart of skateboarding in the USA - California - where the influences include the surf lifestyle, youth culture, music and heritage in the early days of skateboarding.

Dusters was launched in 2012 by a savvy team that recognises the functionality of cruisers and longboards. They have a combined experienced of over 25 years in the industry and the goal to build vintage-inspired boards using the latest innovation for speed and stability.

Surfing the Streets

Dusters are made for cruising the streets, but it's also because of surfing that the kids in the area had to resort to surfing the streets with old-fashioned pintails when there are no waves to ride. Short cruisers were usually reserved for bowl and pool sessions.

These are complete boards that you can ride instantly. One of the features of Dusters complete longboards is their use of Slant Trucks by Globe international. Slant Trucks are designed for cruising and carving. On the other hand, Dusters manufacture their own wheels and bearings to ensure riders are getting only the best ride on their boards.

Collaborations and Tributes

Dusters collaborated with numerous artists and skateboarders to come up with interesting boards bearing original, interesting designs that cannot be found elsewhere. Below are just a few of them:

California Locos - Los Angeles artists California Locos have created several designs for Dusters skate decks that showcase their creativity, range and inspirations. Each board on this line-up is a masterpiece on its own that you just want to hang one on your wall.

Cindy Whitehead - Pro skater Cindy Whitehead founded the "Girl is not a 4 Letter Word" which is also the basis of the collaboration with Dusters. The collab features skateboards that support "Longboarding for Peace" which acknowledges and encourages all female skaters. A portion of the sales goes to Poseidon Foundation, an organisation that supports skaters across the globe.

Farah Fawcett Foundation - Farah Fawcett's most iconic image - the 1976 red swimsuit pinup poster - on classic boards and t-shirt for the benefit of her foundation.

Grateful Dead - The legendary rock band and Dusters teamed up to create three boards with their world-renowned images. Each board, in their own way, is a tribute to the band.

Jimi Hendrix - The family of Jimi Hendrix and Dusters collaborated to create two tribute boards - a cruiser and a longboard - featuring seminal imagery based on Hendrix's concert images and album artwork.

Steve Olson - Skateboarding Hall of Fame inductee Steve Olson is a legend in skating and art. His collaboration with Dusters involves a play of colours on abstract designs - a partial design on the top side and full design underneath the deck.

The Doors - The music of The Doors will take you back to the free-spirited days, reminiscing the good times with the band's expressive lyrics while shredding on a collab cruiser or longboard. Much as the band's iconic music, the Doors x Dusters skateboards have that iconic look with the advantages of a modern ride.

Dusters will always be a brand that sticks to its roots and influences, and reflect them on the classically designed boards they put out on the market. If you love retro cruisers and longboards, this is one of the brands to watch out for. Or simply order right here at Yakwax and enjoy our FREE UK delivery!
