Skateboarding legend Chad Muska recently turned 49, and skaters everywhere were happy to see him still active and connected to the scene.
His previous board sponsor Shorty's Skateboards marked the occasion by releasing a new pro model deck for him, giving fans and skaters something new to look at and ride.
Shorty’s Skateboards shared the announcement on social media with a casual tone, writing:
“NEW @themuska CHAD MUSKA icon long pro decks in the shop . 8.0

While supply’s last -

The post quickly got attention from skaters who grew up watching Muska’s parts and still follow what he’s doing today.
Seeing a new deck release tied to his birthday added a bit of extra excitement for fans who have been around since his earlier eras in skateboarding.
The new pro model continues the long-running connection between Muska and Shorty’s, a partnership that helped define a big part of early 2000s skate culture.
Even now, the release shows that his name still carries weight in skate shops and among skaters who appreciate his influence.
Happy birthday Muska!
