Powell Peralta Boards 2013.


These make a little more sense since they are promoting specific boards. Powell Peralta is never shy about running boring product ads with technical data and that is something you can have a lot of creative fun with. Did Powell even have a team at this time? Obviously, Steve Caballero was still pro. They ran one ad for him with just a board graphic from 2013 - 2014. Otherwise, I'm not sure who else they sponsored. The graphics mostly fit in with Powell's zone, except maybe for the skeleton sparking up a joint. They occupy a weird design space between classic skulls and Skate Mental silliness.
