Eric Koston & Lance Mountain Revisit The “Pictionary” Board – Crailtap

For this year’s Skateshop Day Crailtap reconnected with Girl alum Eric Koston to bring back an iconic piece of history-the Koston “Pictionary” board, originally designed by Lance Mountain and released in 1994.

Here’s the kicker: They’ve got four original, 1994 samples mixed in with the new batch, and one of those four features Lance’s hand-drawn artwork! Each deck will be shrink-wrapped in a mystery black bag, so you won’t know if you’re getting a re-issue or an original until you crack it open.
Made by PS Stix on the original Girl mold, this re-issue is available only in skateshops, releasing on Skate Shop Day, February 15th, 2025.
