Ladera Longboards:

The Purple Heart Mini

The original 1970’s deck that inspires this mini was made out of beautiful exotic purple-heart wood and was the beginning of our skateboard company.  We couldn’t help adopting the stylish retro shape into our own line of boards.  Click through to see more…

Of course, this Purple Heart is only an adaptation of the old-school artifact. We threw in contemporary touches like a kick tail, mellow concave, and a slight nose kick to turn the board into a high-performance mini fit for the modern rider. Every Purple Heart comes equipped with Bennett precision trucks, Chaput’s “Retro” ZigZags wheels and a crazy new graphic by Hiro Murai.  The completes are $169.99, and you can score just a deck if you want to.
