Kelly Bird & Nicole Hause Skate Venice – REAL Skateboards

No Comments

REAL really wanted to re-issue this classic Kelly Bird graphic, but there was only one problem… they couldn’t find the original art! Turns out it’s also one of the few pro boards that Kelly did not have in his personal collection. Lucky for us Michael Sieben from Thrasher was able to track one down in his mom’s garage that he had skated back in the day and shipped it over for a graphic and shape trace. REAL recreated the art and the exact original 90’s 7.43” shape, then sent Kelly and Nicole down to the Venice ledge to have some fun with em.

Get a close look at the full collection of decks & apparel HERE.

Check out the footage from the session and some behind-the-scenes photos, along with the final Ad from the Feb ’23 Issue of Thrasher.
