For Stereo Skateboards' first Fall offering, they're commemorating the 30+ years of the classic Paulo Diaz "Camelot" board by releasing an homage to the original deck from 1993. They only made 60, though...so if you want one—act fast!

"Although he only had a handful of Stereo Pro decks, he is the epitome of what Stereo represents at its very core...approaching skateboarding from a 'creativity first' artistic lens," says Chris Pastras. "Everything Paulo does on and off his board is very honest. His music, his art, and of course his skateboarding, Paulo does things Paulo's unique way, and we love it. Plus he brings that PMA to every session, every jam, every hang, it's truly magical."
People often say Paulo is underrated, but those who know his skating and know him personally could argue that he's a legend in his own right. A lot of what he did in the early 90s was way ahead of its time, and he wasn't just in the mix with all the heavy hitters back then—he was simply one of them. This reissue is well deserved and super fitting, you ask me! Paulo is a real one.
In the post, Pastras tacked on, "Doing this commemorative board 30+ years later is really special, and we are also proudly welcoming Paulo back home with our Classics Division."
Sounds like a Welcome Home celebration might be in order!? Congrats, Pablo! And if you're looking to cop one of these boards before they're gone, hit the Stereo site!
