New Keith Meek Model

The Slasher has a new model on the Santa Cruz Veterans Division. I guess they are going to stick with it after all. Looks like a good shape, though the graphic certainly reminds one of a certain Rick “Spidey” DeMontronde board. See them both after the jump. The press release also mentions an upcoming SantaCruz video titled V-Day “which traces the influence and contributions of Santa Cruz Vets Eric Dressen, Tom Knox, Jason Jessee to the skateboarding community.” Meek’s web page & bio is still M.I.A. from the Santa Cruz Skateboards web site.

Press Release:

THE SLASHER IS BACK!
SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS KEITH MEEK ENLISTED TO THE VETERANS DIVISION

Santa Cruz Skateboards is pleased to announce the addition of Keith Meek, a.k.a. “the Slasher” to the Veterans Division Team.

“Stoked to be back on board even though I never really left!” – Keith Meek.

Meek was one of the early backyard pool pioneers that helped put Santa Cruz on the map with a timeless style that earned him the “Slasher” namesake and his original Phillips “Slasher” graphic which is still one of the most recognized graphics ever produced by Santa Cruz.

His new Vets Division model, “Arachne” will debut at the September ASR Tradeshow in San Diego.

Look for some rare footage of Keith coming out in the new Santa Cruz video titled “V-Day” which traces the influence and contributions of Santa Cruz Vets Eric Dressen, Tom Knox, Jason Jessee to the skateboarding community. Coming soon Meek’s web page & bio on www.santacruzskateboards.com.
