World Industries skateboard deck Jef Hartsel Yout Model 9.4375"

World Industries Jef Hartsel Yout Model skateboard deck blends classic 90s World Industries attitude with a deeper story behind the name. At first glance, Jef Hartsel’s skate photos give off the image of a hardcore, Dogtown-bred skater—but nothing could be further from the truth.

Kind, thoughtful, and philosophically curious, Jef Hartsel brought a unique perspective to skateboarding that went well beyond image alone. The quote featured on this deck, “Be curious, not judgemental,” is famously misattributed to Walt Whitman, adding an extra layer of irony and insight that fits perfectly with Jef’s eclectic outlook.

This deck reflects an era when World Industries wasn’t afraid to mix humour, contradiction, and personality into every release. A versatile size with classic proportions, it’s well suited for skating or for anyone who appreciates boards with genuine character and history.
