1970s Jaws Orange Skateboard — Continental Trucks, Newporter Stoker Wheels

The JAWS logo is embossed directly into the kicktail of this orange molded-plastic cruiser — not a sticker, not a graphic, but cast into the deck itself, which tells you this was licensed merchandise from the start. The board rides on Continental aluminum trucks fitted with deep oxblood-red Newporter Stoker urethane wheels, a setup that places this squarely in the 1975–1977 window when urethane wheels were still a revelation and Newport Beach brands were driving the second skateboard wave.

For skate historians and surf-culture collectors, this one checks several boxes at once. The Jaws film tie-in makes it crossover memorabilia — sought by skateboard collectors and Spielberg/Universal film merchandise collectors. Newporter Stoker wheels are among the period-correct urethane brands that skate historians track; Continental trucks were a mid-tier workhorse of the era. The underside retains an original factory inspector sticker (No. 167), a detail that speaks to original production-line condition rather than a rebuilt or frankenstein setup. The deck color — a vivid cadmium orange — remains unfaded, a genuinely uncommon survival condition for fifty-year-old polyethylene.

CONDITION

Very Good with no remarkable damage. Deck color is vivid and unfaded; minor surface scuffing to the top deck consistent with light use. A small raised bubble or impact mark is present on the underside of the deck, mid-board. Wheels show age patina and minor surface crazing but spin freely on the trucks. All hardware is present and original in appearance.
