Unless you've been living under a rock the last few weeks, you know that Todd Francis and Natas Kaupas teamed up for a special Natas x REAL Skateboards Guest Pro Model in celebration of Skateshop Day 2025.
This limited-edition deck is the perfect blend of their distinct styles, and ended up being "one of the most unexpected Natas graphics to date," as REAL put it.
Tap the play button on the video below for a comical look at their creative process while creating this limited graphic. It's pretty funny. Tons of zingers in there! I was already stoked on this board, but now I'm super stoked.
If you're familiar with Todd Francis, you know his satirical (and often darkly humorous) artwork is perfect for the skateboarding world. He brought his signature touch to the project, while Natas—an icon on and off the board in his own right—was able to add his own creative influence. The result? A collaboration for the ages!
These decks will be available exclusively in skate shops tomorrow, February 15th, as part of the limited Skateshop Day releases. But don’t sleep—this one is bound to be at the top of every skater’s wish list and won’t stick around for long.
Skateshop Day serves as a reminder to support local shops, sure, but this limited REAL deck is more than just a collector’s item—it’s a celebration of the skaters, artists, and ripping shops across the globe who shape the scene. Grab one while you can.
