In the annals of core skateboarding history, one name stands out as a true icon of the street skate punk lifestyle.

The Master of Disaster Duane Peters is the only one who has the balls to stay true to the roots of skateboarding, refusing to bow down to corporations that have led many of his fellow professional skateboarders to compromise their principles for corporate gain.

With a gnarly career spanning decades and a personality as bold as his riding style, Peters has earned the title "The Only Real Skate Punk." Despite being homeless, he strives not to skate for money but for glory.

In the 1980s, Peters became deeply intertwined with the emerging punk rock scene, characterized by its DIY mentality, anti-establishment attitude.

He formed the punk band U.S. Bombs and later joined Die Hunns, cementing his status as a street punk icon. His music reflected his life – raw, unfiltered, and energetic.
