San Diego, CA – Emerging in the mid-1970s, the plastic injection-molded skateboard was considered one of the finest and most stylish skateboards on the scene. With its tight turning radius and small surface area, they were the ideal way to get around town. We are very pleased to announce that they are officially back. Entering the scene back in early 2010 in Australia, Penny Skateboards are now launching in the USA.
The Penny revival has been a cultural phenomenon in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, UK and Japan. Penny Skateboards fever has erupted amongst skateboarders, surfers and collectors worldwide due to its diverse range of colorways and practical functionality. The Penny bomb is about to drop on North and South America in August 2011 as the original and only plastic skateboard on the market.
The Penny fan network has blown up worldwide, with crews of Penny skaters and scores of fan videos flooding the web. Retailers in Australia commonly refer to Penny as “crack cocaine for kids and teenagers” due to the unstoppable demand and numbers of tantrums thrown by skaters missing out in-store when retailers sell out every month.
Effective August 15th 2011, Penny Skateboards are now officially launching in the USA. Available solely through Absolute Distributors Inc, Penny is releasing its assortment of completes in 14 exciting colorways including a glow in the dark and fully transparent model.
