Girl Skateboards
Founded in 1993 by Mike Carrol, Rick Howard, Megan Baltimore, and filmmaker Spike Jonze, Girl Skateboards has become one of the most recognizable brands in skateboarding. Based in California, they aimed to create a company that surpassed their perception of other deck producers.
Girl Skateboards stands out with its distinctive logo, a female silhouette in a male-dominated market. Their accessibility sets them apart as one of the best skateboard brands. Initially focused on professional-grade skateboards due to their founders' backgrounds, they have expanded their catalog to include beginner-friendly decks. Their website provides a sizing guide that guides newcomers on how different shapes and sizes affect skateboard handling, along with information on which sizes are preferred by their team riders.
Currently, Girl Skateboards operates as a subsidiary of Crailtap, which also distributes products from Chocolate Skateboards, Royal Skateboard Trucks, and Fourstar Clothing. This partnership allows them to expand their reach and offer a wider range of skateboarding products to their loyal customer base.
