From the archive · 2022
The Lucid Collection explored a clear acrylic skateboard with engraved lines inspired by surfboard stringers. Originally introduced in 2022, it remains part of the GCLB design story. This archive article is not a current stock announcement.
Letting the material do the talking
Lucid took a simple visual idea and made it the centre of the board: transparency. The clear deck exposed the hardware beneath it and let the surroundings remain visible through the acrylic.
Engraved lines ran through the design, taking their cue from the stringers seen in surfboards, with the GCLB logo in the middle. The clear surface and linework gave the collection a different character from our illustrated timber boards.
Three shapes in the original collection
The launch described a platypus longboard, a wheel-cut longboard and a wide cruiser. The same clear material and engraved treatment tied those different shapes together.
The photographs here show that original collection. They are a record of its design, not a guide to the specifications or availability of boards currently for sale.
How Lucid differed from Ocean
The two acrylic collections were introduced around the same period, but they had distinct artwork. Lucid used clear acrylic and engraved stringer-style lines. The Ocean Collection used resin wave art inspired by aerial beachscapes.
Both explored the relationship between a board and the coastal setting around it: one through transparency, the other through colour.
