They made a few boards in the Mid 80's, my mate had a complete I think, not like that one though, seem to remember it more white and blue.

I bet they are like hens teeth, it was all about Powell/G&S/Santa Cruz when I started skating, Haro were `so old fashioned'!!

Hutch also made one, and CW, would like to see a hutch one. And yeah I doubt they sold well to be honest.

Any 80's skateboard is cool, just one would be good enough, unlike with bikes, you need more than one bike!

Their first 'board was called the Circuit Board. Although I seem to remember that at the time there was another skateboard called a circuit board.

The idea of skateboarding was lost on the BMX companies

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #12 on:** December 14, 2011, 01:38 AM »

Skated since '86 and worked in a skate shop - the room of bmx stuff was just sitting there as skating got bigger and bmx was pushed to the side in order of the new skate board craze was blowing up

I just picked up Stoked on DVD in a charity shop the other day for £1

I must of had about 60 boards + over the years

there was a Haro circuit board on the wall for a long time, next to a Hosoi (biscut cut shape) Alva - all of the old flat board with no noses and wheel wells - they the fish tails came in Natas - Gator - McGill and so on

saw it all change in time at the shop - from flat boards - fish tails - long nose - round nose - double tail (i had one of the first vision double tails around when every one thought they were Kooky and never gonna last

)

the amount of boards that came and went in my hands at that shop - now i look back and wish i could have got one of each - even the repops are fetching big cash and collector highs

My mate had that board. The vison "Double Vison", it was a cool board, but totally different from what else was around at the time. I think I had a Santa Cruz Jeff Kendal at the same time.

Stunt Master is bang on about the price of old skateboards. I had a look on ebay to see what my old H Street Matt Hensley was worth and one sold for $450 and it was fooked

I will dig it out from the old mans garage when I go down and see the old folks at xmas. My Death Box Pete Dossett should be in there somewhere as well.

Haro made the circuit board and another fish tailed deck called the Haro Dots. Both were shit and youd have got your face punched in if you turned up at Rom with one

skateboard collecting is for weirdo's

These were driven by Jim Ford who came from Kryptonics and was a big innovator in th skate board world. Jim formulated the first dual compound wheels that were adopted by almost every brand at the time. He joined Haro as general Manager in the early 1980's.
