I had the Black top series Graphiti loved that board Indy trucks and Big Balls wheels wish I still had it . Gave it to a younger Cousin so no idea what happened to it. love hearing the stories behind it all at 48 years old brings back great memories of things you forget.

You could recreate that same board today with a reissue and maybe slimeball wheels

Mad respect for Kendall. Always liked his style and his personality. Its loud, its cool…

I got this deck last weekend! I was doing heelflips over the pyramid. Never skated a shaped deck before and I love this one.

Kendall is and always will be gnarly! Acid drops to JFA..legendary...

Ah the Crumbsuckers! I've got one of their albums somewhere. Kendall is a legend. My mates and I went to see him do a demo in England once but missed it after getting arrested for skating downtown and getting the blame for knocking down a 25 foot streetlamp. Happy days. 😆

At least you have an epic story!! 🤣

Man I love to see content like this! Now tell Jeff to come out and do a product review of one of these reissues!

Jeff is the most under rated skater of all time.

Jeff Kendall is a vampire and Santa Cruz died his hair grey to throw us off the scent. Aged better than most of us.

@@truthhurts7637 yea, couldn't find any footage of him ripping expect from the late 80s and early 90s, he probably retired from skating professionally.

Had that board back when it came out and just re ordered it again yesterday. Had the great privladge to ride on Santacruz snowboard team in the mid 90s. Such a great company

_I had a Kendall graffiti deck in'89. Didn't seem that long ago untill I saw it written down. Someone seems to have put life onto F-FWD._ ✊🏻✊🏻

Thank you Jeff you brought back memories of skating Bruce's ramp!

Killer graphics. Loved the 80s styles. We need more like that. Great to see the newer pros like Wink riding ols school shapes.

Wow! How amazing! This graphics story and the timing of it with what's happening right now. Powerful stuff.

Still got my Original Kendall Graffiti. Slimeballs, Indys and hot pink rails. It scares the youngsters when it gets taken to the park. Always loved Kendall's style.

In the Midwest it was definitely the bike shops we hit up for skate stuff.

Loved the old school Santa Cruz graphics!

Wish Jeff Kendall would get around to making a "jfk shaking hands with an alien" deck .that and a wider kiss everslick ..still greatful for these pros I looked up to in the 80s/90s that kinda took the place of absent parentism...thanks guys..fun times that kept me out of trouble(most of the time lol) when skating was an outlaw sport

He look like Steve Kerr 😆 🤣

Jeff Kendall inspiring and a great productivity of a commercial and graphic designer artwork designs textures and colors logo from the old style of skateboarding and movies.

The graffiti board was my first pro board. Being from the westside of Indy I saw a story in the Indianapolis Star about Jeff. I think he was off a launch ramp. Thats what got me into it. If this flat top can do it....

This rocks. Love it. Thank you. More Please!!🤘

I hope you guys reissue the Psychotic Eyes board!

Last time on skateboard over 30 years ago. Seen skateboarding becoming more popular again lately. Read also news about huge resurgence. There's multiple skateboard shops in town while back in the 80s the nearest was hundreds of km/miles away. Would definitely buy a Kendall deck, again ... if I ignore the likelihood of crushing my ankles. Would have to ask the insurance company first.

Jeff is the best

Day after messed me up too.

🤘❤️🤘

Best handplants ever.

@@SantaCruzSkateboards That would be great, please just a little for the old school brigade.

Little known Santa Cruz factoid: Steve Alba and Jeff Kendall share custody of the same toupee and that is why they are never seen out in public together.

That's not the first person who mentioned Groholski and Metallica. He must have had a trunk full of bootlegs, surprised Lars didn't sue him

Jeff Kendall ate my first born and said it was for the "greater good." Please help me, I'm very sick.

When you starve yourself by saving your lunch money in the 80’s, whadda do with that money, buy a Jeff Kendall graffiti board.

I would 'LOVE' to see Kendall dust the board off and video something for us today. HINT HINT HINT HINT

I had the deer 🦌 very hard to find at the time

The real jeff. No machine.. I like it...shoutout to the horns
