Girl

Girl Skateboards began in 1993, and its founders include Rick Howard and Mike Carroll. It has been a leading name in skateboarding for over 30 years, making decks, wheels, apparel and accessories. Slam City Skates, London's oldest skateboard shop, calls Girl one of its favourite board companies and says the team has always been among the best around. The label is also known for its videos, which carry Spike Jonze concepts. Slam City points to Goldfish and Mouse, Yeah Right and Pretty Sweet as releases that each made a big impact. If you like your clothes to come from a skate brand with real history behind it, Girl's apparel range is a good place to start. In the UK, Slam City stocks it.
