What to know about Girl Skateboards
Skater-owned since 1993
Founded in Torrance by pro skaters Rick Howard and Mike Carroll with Megan Baltimore and filmmaker Spike Jonze, and still run through Crailtap with Chocolate and Royal.
The videos built the name
Its reputation rests on team films like Mouse, Yeah Right! and Pretty Sweet as much as on the decks, wheels, tees, hoodies and caps.
One pictogram, everything
The logo adapts the women's restroom sign and carries across the whole range; graphics stay art-directed and rider-specific rather than following trends.
How Girl Skateboards fits
Overall fit
true to size
Girl's tees and fleece are typically cut on standard US skate blanks, so most shoppers find them true to size with a slightly relaxed, boxy body rather than a fitted one.
Tip: Order your usual US size, and size up one if you want the oversized skate look or plan to layer a hoodie underneath.
