Powell Peralta x Steve Caballero | Cab Chinese Dragon Reissue Skateboard Deck. Copper Foil / 10" x 30"
Powell Peralta x Steve Caballero Cab Chinese Dragon Reissue Skateboard Deck.
Cab's "Original Dragon" pro-signature deck graphic was released by Powell Peralta in 1980. After six years, a new graphic was created just in time for the filming of the Animal Chin video in '86. Known as the Cab "Chinese Dragon", the artwork was inspired by a Chinese takeout box, and was illustrated by Powell-Peralta artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ). The Chinese Dragon was released in 1986 on a newly designed "fish" shape deck.
