Summer is loading. The NHS crew is dropping a massive wave of new product at the end of May, covering Santa Cruz, Creature, Independent, Bronson Speed Co., Slime Balls, OJ Wheels, and Ricta. New pro boards, the most hyped truck collab of the season, fresh wheels from every angle, and a signature bearing drop you won't want to sleep on. Here's the full first look.
Check out all of the goods as they hit the site over the next few weeks here.
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is coming in heavy this summer across four distinct collections — VX, FeelBase, Pro Maple, and Reissues — each bringing something different to the table.
VX Decks
VX is the strongest deck technology in skateboarding — thinner, stronger, and with more pop than standard 7-ply. Three new VX builds drop this season. The McCoy Snakes VX (8.25" x 31.83") features bold new art by Mako, black ink on gold mirror foil. The Wooten Calamity VX (8.5" x 32.2") goes silver mirror foil with art by Dustin Kefaliotis on a matte finish. And the O'Brien Reaper Hand VX (9.0" x 32.15") brings new art by Cody Melick — a nod to the Jim Phillips original — on a matte finish.
FeelBase
Shorter wheelbase, bigger feel. FeelBase shapes are built for skaters who want a more responsive, quicker-turning board. Three new boards this season: the Scribble Head FeelBase (7.75" x 30.25") and Scribble Flash FeelBase (8.0" x 30.5"), both with new art by Jesse California — neon inks on the Head, neon on silver mirror foil on the Flash. Rounding it out is the Delfino Scribble FeelBase Pro (8.25" x 31") on a matte finish, also by Jesse California.
Pro Maple
Four new pro boards on standard maple construction. Tom Asta's Space Kitten Twin (8.2" x 31.6") features metallic ink on his classic twin tip shape, art by Thomas Fernández. Jereme Knibbs gets the Cryptic (8.5" x 31.6") — split black and burgundy veneers with neon and metallic inks, also by Fernández. Rob Pace brings the Dungeon (8.7" x 31.825") with neon and metallic inks. And Rob Roskopp's Screaming Arm (9.0" x 32.0") gets a fresh take by Yaia — neon inks honoring the Jim Phillips original.
Reissues
Four legends get the reissue treatment this season, all on silver kaleidoscope foil with a matte finish. Jeff Kendall's End of the World (10.0" x 29.7") comes in neon green and metallic inks. Knox's Firepit (10.07" x 31.275") goes cyan and metallic. Meek's Slasher (10.1" x 31.13") runs neon pink and metallic. O'Brien's Reaper (9.85" x 30.05") hits in neon red and metallic. Big boards with big history — collector-grade stuff.
Creature
This season we celebrate 20 years of David Gravette on Creature — and the team delivers across Pro One-Offs and a Pro Series that includes VX construction.
Pro One-Offs
Gravette's milestone gets honored with two boards. The Hippie Skull 20th (8.3" x 32.2") celebrates 20 years still shredding with art by Fat Chris Adams. The Hippie Falls (9.0" x 31.68") is a wide keeper with wheel wells and a 14" wheelbase — also by Adams. Bækkel's Troll 2 Pro One-Off (8.6" x 32.11") brings the looming troll back to life with art by David Thierre. And Hitz's Naga Cobra (9.0" x 31.94") is a stunner set on his celebrated 9" Ice Pik shape, with art by Kilas.
Pro Series
The Terror Sight Pro Series brings glow-in-the-dark highlights with art by Chad Keith Helsinki across two boards — Russell (8.53" x 32.19") and Worthington (8.75" x 32.15"). The Warriors VX Pro Series pairs VX technology with Matt Stikker's art on the Gonzalez (8.375" x 32") and Bækkel (8.6" x 32.11") shapes. Two of Creature's gnarliest looking boards in a while.
Independent Trucks
Chris Joslin Forged Titanium — Stage 11 Pro: Light as hell, strong as ever. The Indy Stage 11 Forged Titanium Chris Joslin "Sticker Slap" Pro trucks are here — polished silver, cutting 15% of the weight with Forged Ti strength and Joslin's pro-tuned grind height built right in. Available in 144, 149, 159, and 169. This is the first-ever Forged Titanium pro model from Independent — a serious milestone for a serious skater. Built to Grind, Guaranteed for Life.
Rounding out the Indy lineup: the Stage 11 Polished Standard in four sizes (144, 149, 159, 169) for the classic Indy feel, the Stage 11 Distortion Blue Standards (144, 149, 159) with candy blue style, and the Stage 4 Hollow Bar Logo with an anodized red baseplate and polished silver hanger in 151, 166, and 215. Nothing turns like a Stage 4.
Bronson Speed Co.
Chris Joslin Pro 6-Ball Raw Bearings: Built for Joslin-level abuse. The new Chris Joslin Pro 6-Ball Raw Bearings are louder, faster, and tougher — engraved with his racing flag and "G-Ma" tribute. Shieldless by design, these next-generation bearings are built for today's skateboarding. All speed, all heart.
Also available: the Bronson 6-Ball RAW standard — no shields, no limits, built for pure speed and max impact.
Slime Balls Wheels
Slime Balls brings the personality this season. Bam Margera gets a guest pro wheel — the 54mm 95a Purple Hardline, dyed black and cut to reveal the purple beneath, plus a 60mm 78a OG Slime Black version featuring custom Bam artwork by Todd Bratrud. Welcome back, Bam.
Jeff Kendall's End of the World gets the wheel treatment too — 56mm Chubbies in White 99a and a 60mm OG Slime Purple Glitter in 78a. For the light-up fans: the SB Café (60mm 78a OG Slime Red) and SB Ice (66mm 78a OG Slime Blue) both glow. Capping it off is the 60mm Bullet Riot Vomit in White 97a — a harder-formula street option with serious Slime Balls energy.
OJ Wheels
OJ Wheels brings new shapes and formulas this summer. The Keyframe 2 is a brand-new 87a conical with a wider road surface for better control on rough terrain — available in 52, 54, 56, and 58mm. The 70mm Dirt Tires (78a) are treaded riding tires built for max grip on any surface. Shin Sanbongi gets his own colorway on the Mini Super Juice — 55mm 78a in blue. And the Super Juice lineup expands with two new neons: 60mm Neon Orange and 60mm Neon Yellow, both in 78a.
Ricta Wheels
The headliner of Ricta's summer drop is Arto Saari's guest pro model Cloud — 54mm, 92a, Light Blue Asphalt colorway. Arto has been one of skateboarding's most creative forces for decades, and having him on the Cloud Core formula just makes sense.
Three new Clouds colorways also drop this season: Transparent Aqua White (57mm 78a), Transparent Citrus White (55mm 78a), and Green Natural (54mm 86a) — all on the Cloud Core formula that makes rough ground feel like nothing.
All products arriving the last week of May. Stay tuned for the full shop update.
