Hot on the heels of Skate Moss comes Skate Upton, a new Tumblr blog featuring iconic model Kate Upton on, you guessed it, skateboard decks. Unlike the Skate Moss project, there doesn't appear to be any fun story of miss communication behind the creation of this blog.
The Skate Upton blog is filled with skate decks that are sure to make any skater salivate. The blog also features hilarious Gifs, cleverly concealed in the form of skateboards. Beautiful women on skateboards are nothing new, which has to make you wonder why top models and brands haven't already started to offer decks complete with images of the world's hottest supermodels on them. Perhaps Skate Moss and Skate Upton will serve as the inspiration.
