October 2025 Release

The Santa Cruz Malba Crash Test Reissue deck features OG early 80's Malba shape, graphics and concave. This first time reissue also comes with wheel wells.

Hand Screened and Numbered at NHS!

*This reissue has the original 80's mounting hole pattern - so make sure to get trucks with a 6 hole baseplate. We suggest Independent Stage 11 169's, 215's or Stage 4 166's

Construction

7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy - making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.

Concave

In the late 70s and early 80s, Santa Cruz led the charge from flat decks with little or no concave to the infamous tech concaves of the late 80s. Early 80s concave is based off of this evolution, with defined, mellow side-to-side concave and slight tail kick that was found on Santa Cruz's Street Skate, RS/C, and pro models like the Malba Tombstone.

How hard are the stock cushions / bushings on Independent & Krux skateboard trucks?

Independent trucks come with 90A stock cushions (also called bushings). If you like softer or harder cushions, they can be purchased separately from Independent's Genuine Parts.

Krux trucks come with 92A stock cushions (also called bushings). If you like softer or harder cushions, they can be purchased separately from Krux Trucks Hardware.

What Independent models offer 6 holes baseplate and what is this for?

All non-forged models in 109, 159, 169, and 215 sizes come with 6 hole baseplates. All Stage 4 sizes come with 6 hole baseplates. The 6 holes baseplates are compatible with both current decks and old-school ones.

When attaching your trucks to your board you’re gonna want to make sure your bolts are long enough. If you ride bigger wheels, you'll want to use risers, and if you use risers, you’ll want to run a longer bolt, but you don’t want to go too long or your setup will look all goofy! Use the chart below and everything will fall into place.

Wheel Size	Riser Size	Hardware Size
		7 ply deck
49 - 55	-	7/8"
55 - 58	1/8"	1"
57 - 60	1/8" - 3/8"	1 1/4"
