What to know about WKND Skateboards
A video project that sells decks
Grew out of filmer Grant Yansura's "Weekendtage" clips on The Berrics, and still centers on full-length VHS-styled videos like Death Dance and Who's to Say.
Dry humor, suburban-Americana graphics
The tees, hoodies and caps trade on deadpan jokes and suburban American imagery rather than logo-forward branding.
Skate shop distribution, skate shop prices
Skater-owned and sold through independent skate shops worldwide, with pro-model and team decks alongside the apparel at low-to-mid pricing.
