Quasi Skateboards: Unconventional Creativity and Modern Skateboarding

Quasi Skateboards is one of the brands that has most significantly transformed the aesthetics and imagery of modern skateboarding in recent years. Founded in the United States, the brand quickly won over skaters around the world thanks to a perfect blend of creativity, manufacturing quality, and a visual identity that completely breaks away from traditional norms.

From its earliest years, Quasi immediately stood out from countless other American skate brands. Its psychedelic graphics, bold colors, unsettling imagery, and completely free-spirited approach to skateboarding have created a style instantly recognizable at first glance. Nothing about the brand feels contrived: every board, video, or graphic genuinely conveys the essence of an independent skate brand born from real skaters.

The brand has managed to make a name for itself especially among the new generation of riders looking for something different from the classic, historic skateboarding brands. Quasi has brought a more modern, experimental, and artistic aesthetic without losing its connection to technical, real skateboarding.

Quasi Skateboards and the Connection to Alien Workshop

Behind Quasi Skateboards stands a pivotal figure in American skateboarding: Chad Bowers. After years at Alien Workshop, one of the most influential brands in skate history, Chad decided to create something entirely new while maintaining the same creative approach that had made Alien Workshop a cult brand in the 1990s and 2000s.

And this is precisely one of the aspects that has made Quasi so strong right from the start. Many skaters immediately sensed the connection between the aesthetic of Alien Workshop and the new Quasi project. Eerie atmospheres, psychedelic art direction, unconventional editing, and powerful yet stylish skateboarding: all of this immediately became part of the brand’s DNA.

Initially, the brand was called “Mother Collective,” but after some legal issues related to the name, the team decided to abandon it completely. Chad Bowers preferred to avoid unnecessary battles and focus immediately on growing the project. From that moment on, the name Quasi Skateboards was officially born, destined within a few years to become one of the strongest and most sought-after brands in modern skateboarding.

Quasi Boards: Modern Shapes, Super Pop, and Technical Feel

Quasi Skateboards have also quickly gained fame for their build quality. The brand manufactures its decks through PS Stix, one of the most legendary and respected factories in the history of global skateboarding.

PS Stix manufactures boards in Mexico using the highest-quality Canadian maple and adhering to the highest production standards. This is precisely why Quasi decks are known for their excellent pop, great responsiveness, and a very precise feel underfoot—whether in technical street skating or more aggressive bowl or park setups.

Quasi’s shapes maintain a decidedly modern new-school aesthetic. The nose and tail are often more pronounced, with concaves carefully designed to offer control, quick flips, and stability during technical tricks or fast runs.

Many skaters appreciate Quasi precisely because it manages to offer modern boards without becoming a “commercial” or soulless brand. Even the most unique and experimental shapes always retain a strong, authentic skate identity.

Quasi’s graphics have revolutionized modern skate aesthetics

One of the elements that has made Quasi Skateboards so recognizable is undoubtedly the brand’s artistic direction. The board graphics resemble contemporary artworks mixed with psychedelic collages, unsettling images, saturated colors, and photographs reinterpreted in totally unpredictable ways.

At a time when many skate brands had begun to conform aesthetically, Quasi managed to bring originality and experimentation back into modern skateboard graphics. Each series is developed with a very strong identity, and the boards often immediately become sought-after items even among collectors.

The American brand has successfully created a highly cohesive visual language across boards, apparel, videos, and general communication. Everything within the Quasi project seems to belong to the same creative universe, and this is precisely one of the reasons why the brand is still perceived today as authentic and distinct from many modern competitors.

The Quasi Skateboards Team: Style and Technique

From its very first videos, the Quasi Skateboards team immediately began making a name for itself within the international skate scene. The brand has always chosen riders with strong personalities, technical style, and a creative approach to skateboarding.

Among the best-known names are Tyler Bledsoe, Jake Johnson, and Gilbert Crockett—skaters who, over the years, have contributed enormously to the brand’s growth thanks to a unique and instantly recognizable style.

The Quasi team isn’t built solely on pure technical skill, but above all on the attitude, flow, and personality of each rider. And this is precisely what makes the brand’s videos so compelling even today: they don’t feel like mere commercial videos, but rather true independent skate productions with a strong artistic identity.

Powerful lines, unique spots, experimental editing, and stylish tricks have helped Quasi quickly become one of the most respected brands in contemporary skateboarding.

Why choose a Quasi Skateboards deck

Choosing a Quasi Skateboard means breaking away from the usual classic patterns and skating a board with a very strong personality. The American brand is perfect for those seeking high-quality construction, modern shapes, and graphics that are completely different from more traditional brands.

Quasi decks perform perfectly in technical street skating, modern parks, and even bowls thanks to responsive concaves and very well-balanced shapes. The pop is immediate, the feel underfoot is precise, and the PS Stix construction ensures excellent durability.
