Karl Watson - May 2002 Organika ad

I believe this is one of the first Organika Skateboards ads, if not the first. It looks really damn cool, so I wanted to post it on its own. I was rereading Karl's 48 Blocks interview recently and learned that he initially wanted to name the company Altered, but was talked out of it by Troy Morgan.

Organika was such a cool board company, and I wish it would have lasted longer. On the bright side, it wasn't around long enough to succumb to the inevitable fate of becoming a parody of itself, like nearly all other longtime skateboarding companies do.
