When I first saw this upcoming collab on Instagram, I couldn’t help but think, “Wait… they haven’t done this already?” Well, it didn’t take long to realize the answer was no. But I guess that’s really neither here nor there at this point.
The good news is—a super limited Mark Gonzales ‘Class Photo’ guest board, tee (and who knows what else) from FA are dropping this Wednesday, April 23rd at 11AM PT. And in case you’re wondering, the hype is already real. Take a look:

Gonz and Dill go way, way back—two of the most creative, unhinged, inspiring dudes skateboarding has ever seen, in my humble opinion.
Their influence is massive, both in their own unique ways. Their infectious energy is still unmatched, on and off the board. And seeing Gonz get a proper FA guest plank from just feels right. Shoot, you could argue it’s long overdue, honestly.

The ‘Class Photo’ series has been a staple within the Fucking Awesome lineup since day one, and now we’ve got one for Gonz? Hmmmm. That’s a straight-up automatic wall-hanger, if you ask me.
But also… these are skateboards. And skateboards are supposed to be skated. So now comes the classic question: cop one to collect or one to rip? If you’re like most of us, the answer’s probably both. Plus, judging by the picture, there’s also a new shape in the mix for this exclusive drop.
I’ve seen more than a handful of skateshops across the country starting to tease the boards, so be sure to hit up your locals first. Otherwise, set a timer for the FA online store. Wednesday, April 23. 11am PST. When FA drops something special, it moves quick. And this collection is no exception.
See you Wednesday!
