BELOW YOU WILL FIND SOME FIREMANS SKATEBOARD HISTORY, and then down below that, some more modern photos and IG posts from the last run which was the first run in modern times!
Firemans first offered the Firemans Texas Cruzer Longboard in the early 2000s as a very limited run hand made by BIGGA Boards, and hand painted by famous local Austin artist John Henry. These boards were designed after an ancient Hawaiian surfboard I saw in a magazine at the time. I believe we made 38, 42, and 48 (?) See photo below –

Photos below of our first ‘modern day’ batch of SKATEBOARDS (red and natural) in 2022 – “batch #2.” In bottom photo on right, you will see some rough planks of our collaboration with BIGGA boards (our original manufacturer) called the BIGG MANN deck, which was a tribute to the SHERMAN SHRIMPER boards made on San Diego in the 1990’s. See out instagram post on @firemans.texas.skateboards (link below) for photos of final built skateboard on this project and other information on our SKATEBOARDS.
