Powell Peralta Per Welinder Nordic Skull Freestyle Reissue Skateboard Decks

The Per Welinder Viking Skull, a fanged fantasy graphic, was initially illustrated by V.C. Johnson in 1984 to reflect Per's Swedish origins. It was first assigned to his freestyle model without the rock texture background, which was later added in an updated version in 1986. In 1987, the new full-length graphic was adapted for a street model as Per began performing freestyle / street demos. The eighth century Runic stone lettering on the graphic spells out Per's name as well as the background quote, "Search and strive, push beyond with strength, yours not theirs, that is the key," which was something Per came up with himself. The graphic was also used for T-shirts and stickers.
