The Krooked Deck Ray Barbee Trophy (9.5) blends timeless skateboarding heritage with the unmistakable artistic vision that has made Krooked Skateboards one of the most respected independent brands in skateboarding. Designed for legendary skateboarder Ray Barbee, this signature model reflects Barbee's smooth, creative style while embracing the hand-drawn aesthetic that defines Krooked. Founded by Mark Gonzales, Krooked has always championed originality, creativity, and skating for the pure love of it, and this pro model is a perfect representation of that philosophy.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the deck's vibrant bright blue background, creating a bold canvas for the colorful central artwork. Dominating the graphic is an oversized orange fish trophy, outlined with thick black lines and detailed with yellow scale panels that spell out the word "BARBEE" across its body. The fish is mounted onto a stylized trophy plaque, complete with a white banner featuring the Krooked logo, while geometric green mountain-like shapes behind it add depth and frame the artwork. The fish's expressive fins, exaggerated proportions, and playful illustration style showcase the unmistakable influence of Mark Gonzales' whimsical artistic direction.
The overall composition feels nostalgic yet fresh, combining vintage trophy imagery with vibrant comic-inspired graphics. Thick black outlines, contrasting primary colors, and intentionally imperfect hand-drawn details give the deck an authentic personality that stands apart from more conventional skateboard graphics. Whether displayed on the wall or built into a complete setup, the artwork celebrates individuality in the same effortless way that Ray Barbee has approached skateboarding throughout his career.
Built around a custom shaped profile, the Krooked Deck Ray Barbee Trophy (9.5) measures 9.5" x 31.75" with a 14.25" wheelbase, offering a stable, comfortable platform for transition, pools, cruising, slappies, curb skating, and creative street lines. Constructed from 7-ply North American hard rock maple using premium BBS manufacturing, the deck features a responsive medium concave paired with Ray Barbee's preferred custom nose and tail shape, delivering confidence whether you're carving bowls or flowing through technical terrain.
Ray Barbee's influence on skateboarding extends far beyond contests and video parts. His smooth, effortless style helped redefine street skating during the late 1980s while inspiring generations of skateboarders to approach skating with creativity rather than aggression. As a musician, photographer, and lifelong ambassador for skateboarding, Barbee continues to embody the positive spirit that has made him one of the most respected figures in the culture. This signature deck honors that legacy with a graphic that is as artistic and distinctive as the rider himself.
Whether you're carving transitions in Monrovia, searching for hidden curbs around Pasadena, rolling through Covina, or skating your favorite neighborhood spots in Claremont and South Pasadena, the Krooked Deck Ray Barbee Trophy (9.5) delivers classic style, premium construction, and a shape designed for riders who appreciate both function and personality.
