If you’ve ever skated down a coastal alley with the sun on your shoulders and asphalt under your wheels, you know what a proper deck skate should feel like—responsive, durable, and alive. At Dagger Skateboards, based in Laguna Beach, the goal isn’t just to make boards—it’s to build an experience under your feet.
Each deck in the deck skate lineup is hand-shaped and pressed with skater intent. Whether you’re just getting started or have been ripping ledges for years, these decks deliver grit and flow in equal measure. From the streets of L.A. to back-alley spots in small towns, Dagger decks bring authenticity and real California edge.
Dagger’s catalog includes streetwise graphics, iconic shapes, and proven durability. Designs range from minimalist classics to pop-culture tributes—each made to last and perform.
Hook Skateboard Deck: The Rebellious Icon
Some decks ride; others make a statement. The Hook Skateboard Deck is both. Designed as a tribute to Robert Rusler’s wild character Hook from the cult classic Thrashin’, this board honors that untamed Dagger energy that defined skate culture in the ’80s.
With artwork by Bobby Draws Skulls and construction that doesn’t compromise, this board isn’t just nostalgic—it’s built for real riding.
Crafted from 7-ply North American maple with a medium concave and pro shape, the Hook deck gives you confident control whether you’re street cruising or throwing tre flips in a park. Each deck is unique, with a colored veneer top that makes it one-of-a-kind.
The Hook deck represents the best of Dagger Skate—visual attitude, skate function, and California soul.
