About the Vato Rat Bones Artwork:

The Vato Rat was created by artist Craig Stecyk. Coming from the Santa Monica Dogtown "Z-Boy" surf-skate scene of the 1970s, Stecyk was surrounded by Hispanic gang culture and graffiti. At the time he was airbrushing a lot of Zephyr surfboards and blended that influence into his work. The Vato Rat was one of the many symbols he used to decorate surfboards and generally mark territory at local surf spots. In 1983 Stacy Peralta decided to bring the Vato Rat back as a Powell-Peralta graphic. They called it "Rat Bones" and it was used in advertising, on decks, stickers, and T-shirts. 

Originally Released: 1983

Artwork by: Craig Stecyk

Board:

Powell-Peralta skateboards are made from strong, light, hard yellow birch, fused together with water-resistant glue in proprietary Powell-Peralta AirLam™ presses. This ensures maximum stiffness, strength, pop, and durability.

Griptape:

Professional quality silicon carbide grit optimizes grip anD durability in all weather conditions.

Trucks:

Mini Logo™ trucks combine strength, stability, and smooth turning by utilizing premium alloys, high-rebound bushings, and heat-treated axles. Designed, developed, and proven by our professional team at Skate One, Mini Logo trucks will allow skaters to roll and turn with confidence when they begin skating and will stand up to the stresses and impacts of advanced street, park, and ramp skating as they progress.

Wheels:

Powell-Peralta wheels are fast, durable, hot cast, polyurethane wheels that roll, slide and grip great. Our wheels have been top-rated and used by professional skaters for the past 43 years. You will be pleased with these.

Bearings:

Mini Logo bearings are Skate Rated™ so they roll fast, and stand up to the dirt, dust, impacts, and moisture skateboards have to roll through every day. With precision ground races, mirror-smooth balls, a high-speed nylon ball retainer, Speed Cream™ racing lubricant, and two removable protective shields for easy cleaning, ML bearings will allow you to take full advantage of your high rebound PP wheels to get maximum roll and skating fun.
