The Santa Cruz Rob Pace Torch Deck (8.25") stands out as a visually intense and technically precise piece of skateboarding equipment. The bottom graphic bursts with classic heavy metal energy, featuring a towering flame in blazing yellow and orange, spelling out "PACE" above "Santa Cruz" in stylized, distorted lettering. The fire erupts from a macabre skeletal totem, built from twisted bones, skulls, and chained elements, evoking a dungeon-like scene with dark brown stone wall textures and heavy chains running through the background. The design is raw, aggressive, and symbolic of Rob Pace’s powerful, go-for-broke style.
On the top ply, a more subtle black-stained veneer hosts a small but bold Santa Cruz logo, framed within a jagged orange border, located above the rear bolts. This matte-finished top graphic keeps it sleek and understated from above while the bottom explodes with intensity.
Santa Cruz Skateboards is one of the most iconic names in skateboarding. Founded in 1973 under NHS, Inc., the brand has been a pioneer in board shaping, graphics, and manufacturing for decades. Known for its deep roots in both pool skating and street innovation, Santa Cruz has consistently pushed design and rider creativity. The “Screaming Hand” by Jim Phillips is one of the most recognizable logos in the game, and the brand continues to support legends and rising talent.
Rob Pace, hailing from Australia, is known for his powerful, all-terrain skating. With a raw, high-speed approach, he crushes everything from crusty street spots to massive transition. His fearless demeanor and technical ability earned him pro status on Santa Cruz, and the “Torch” graphic pays tribute to the intensity and fire he brings to skating.
