G&S Skateboards is a brand with deep roots in skateboarding’s early evolution and a legacy that still resonates with riders who appreciate both the history and culture of the sport. The company began life in San Diego, California, not initially as a skateboard manufacturer but as a surfboard company founded by Larry Gordon and Floyd Smith in 1959. Their shared passion for board riding led them from shaping surfboards in a garage to becoming pioneers in both surf and skate industries.
Powell Peralta is one of the most recognised names in skateboarding, with a story that’s deeply woven into the sport’s history and culture. Founded in 1978 by engineer-turned-skateboard maker George Powell and legendary rider and team manager Stacy Peralta, the brand quickly grew from a small Californian operation into a global icon that helped shape modern skateboarding.
Santa Cruz Skateboards is one of the most enduring names in skateboarding — a brand with roots that stretch right back to the early days of the sport. Founded in 1973 in Santa Cruz, California by three surfer friends, Richard Novak, Doug Haut and Jay Shuirman, Santa Cruz quickly became a pioneer in what was then a very young industry. Its early success helped establish skateboarding as its own unique culture, not just an off-shoot of surfing.
Vision Skateboards is a brand that carries a special place in skateboarding history — especially for anyone drawn to the vibrant, expressive side of the sport. Founded in the mid-1970s in Southern California, Vision quickly became one of the go-to names in the industry and helped define skate culture throughout the 1980s with bold deck designs, stand-out graphics and a roster of influential riders behind it.
World Industries Skateboards is a name that resonates with many '90s skaters because it carries both a history and a personality that helped shape modern skate culture. Born in the late 1980s, the brand is one of the early companies started by skateboarders themselves — with founders like Steve Rocco and Rodney Mullen at the helm — and from the beginning it stood out by doing things differently and speaking directly to the skate community.
