As March comes to close, word has it that two defunct skateboard brands have been resurrected this month. After an almost ten-year hiatus, Diabolical Skateboards is back representing some of Santa Barbara’s most recognizable skaters including Frankie Hill, George Nagai, Tony Tieu, and Mike Santarossa.
