Like a lot of companies, Skuda started out with some cheap plastic skateboards before attempting to break into the high-performance market. The L-A model up top looks interesting in that’s it’a a laminate board with a molded kicktail, but has the styling of a traditional solid plank hardwood board with stringers. Looks sharp, but how did it hold up?
Here’s a deal of the Skuda Californian, not to be confused with the Skuda L-A.
This kids is stoked to be in full safety gear having his picture taken in the studio. Hopefully he got a free skateboard and a t-shirt out of the deal.

Lucky man, I had a Skuda LA when I was a kid, again, my prized possession, but was stolen when I was 15 years old, I was devastated. I am also 58 years old and would love to find another one.

I’ve just found this, I’m a 58 year old surveyor and I’ve got one of these, I bought it new in 78/79 by working three paper-rounds when my parents banned from skateboarding on safety grounds, still ride it occasionally, usually when not sober! It’s my prize possession, is there anyone who refurbishes vintage skateboards?
