I haven't been collecting a lot the last few years. These three boards are from this year and last.
Even though Matt Hensley and H-Street were before my time, this Hornblower graphic always spoke to me. I'd say it takes me back to my childhood even before I skated; I was always intrigued by buskers and street performers as a kid. The design of the graphic itself also represents that era somehow, maybe it's inspired by something from my youth that I'm forgetting about but have internalized. I've also always admired how skating used to be this underground activity and this board, to me, represents that as well.
Middle board is a Top of the World shop deck (RIP) that's a Richard Sarrazin pro model. He had an amazing part in Top Dollar and I've seen him skate in person while I briefly lived in Ottawa in the mid-aughts. Love the graphic as well.
Right-hand board is a Carpet Shadowman deck. It's been clowned on saying it looks like a Korn album cover, I get it but I've always loved Carpet's graphics and this one stood out, esp. the contrast of colours on this specific board. Also my wife bought it for me as a gift so it has that sentimental value.
