The Chocolate Deck Vincent Alvarez Crete And Street (8.25) captures the spirit of skateboarding’s never-ending relationship between rough street spots and handmade concrete terrain. Featuring a warm natural woodgrain veneer as the backdrop, the graphic combines bold typography, classic Chocolate design language, and a subtle nod to the DIY ethos that Vincent Alvarez has become known for throughout his career. Stretching vertically across the deck is a large handstyle script graphic in a soft golden-orange hue, partially obscured by a bold central logo block that proudly reads "Crete & Street." The layered composition gives the deck a clean, poster-like aesthetic while maintaining the raw energy that defines Chocolate Skateboards.

A detailed illustration of a worker shaping concrete sits beside the central logo, reinforcing the theme behind the graphic. It’s a direct reference to the blend of DIY spot building, street skating, and community-driven skate culture that continues to influence skaters across Los Angeles. The natural wood background allows the artwork to breathe while emphasizing the timeless look of a skateboard graphic that feels equally at home under your feet or displayed on a wall.

Built on Chocolate’s versatile G052 shape, this deck measures 8.25" wide by 31.875" long with a 14" wheelbase. Based on the proven G027 platform, the G052 features a longer shovel nose, straight rails, and a full round tail, creating a responsive shape that excels in technical street skating while still providing stability for transition and park riding. Whether you're skating ledges in Pasadena, pushing through the streets of Alhambra, or hitting local parks throughout the SGV, this shape delivers the balance and control demanded by modern skateboarding.

The Vincent Alvarez Crete And Street pro model reflects the personality of one of Los Angeles skateboarding’s most respected figures. Born and raised in Lincoln Heights and the Ramona Gardens area of East Los Angeles, Alvarez built his reputation through fearless speed, spontaneous spot selection, and an unmistakable style that combines power with creativity. After winning the DC King of LA amateur series, he turned professional for Chocolate Skateboards in 2010 and has since appeared in landmark videos including Pretty Sweet, Static V, The Flare, and Duets. In recent years, Alvarez has become deeply involved in DIY concrete projects, helping create skateable spaces throughout Los Angeles while continuing to embody the independent spirit that defines skateboarding.

Founded by Rick Howard and Mike Carroll in 1994, Chocolate Skateboards remains one of skateboarding’s most influential brands.
