For the Love of Skateboarding
Chocolate teamed up with Bay Area artist John Powers McNicholas, a close friend of Raven Tershy, for this latest series. Known for working across various mediums, JP recently showcased his art at Break Free in Oakland, CA.
For this project, he used stencils to create unique boards for Erik, Stevie, Raven, and Vinny. Each deck comes in two sizes, alongside matching apparel that rounds out the collection.

Misato Suzuki returns with crafted iconic graphics for Girl and Ruby in-house for several years. Her unique vision and skill in multiple media make this new collection a standout.
When Keenan passed, we set aside all inventory bearing his name – sadness all around. Among these were several dozen board boxes from the City Series 2, labeled Milton. For over 16 years, they remained untouched, until Crailtap recognized they deserved a better home. They belonged among those who cherished Keenan’s spirit – those who shared laughter and admiration alongside him.
Now, as we celebrate 30 Chocolate Years, the moment feels right to share these vintage Richard Mulder decks with the world. This release features new old stock, only 200 available, each screen printed with art by Evan Hecox.
