Santa Cruz Hosoi Picasso Deck

At 10.26 inches wide, this deck is built primarily for transition skating, bowl riding, and cruising. Its substantial width provides a stable, comfortable platform that feels very different from the narrower, popsicle-shaped boards typically used for technical street tricks.

This is a true reissue, meaning it generally maintains the feel and geometry of the original era. Expect a flatter, more traditional profile compared to the aggressive, steep concave found on most modern street decks.

Yes, but you should choose trucks that match the width of the deck. For a 10.26-inch board, you will want to pair it with wide trucks—typically 169mm or larger—to ensure your wheels align properly with the edges of the board.

It is built to be ridden, featuring traditional construction that holds up to actual skating. However, because it is a classic reissue with iconic graphic art, many collectors also choose to mount it on a wall as a piece of skate history.

The shorter length combined with the wide 10.26-inch platform creates a very stable, surfy feel. It is less about flicking the board for flip tricks and more about carving, pumping through transitions, and having a solid base under your feet.
