Classic Girl Skateboards decks and gear from one of skateboarding's most influential and enduring brands.
Founded in 1993 by Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, and Megan Baltimore, Girl Skateboards quickly established itself as skateboarding's premier blend of technical progression and timeless style. Operating under the Crailtap umbrella, their team has featured some of skating's most influential figures – from founding members like Guy Mariano and Eric Koston to current standouts like Andrew Brophy and Griffin Gass. Girl's artistic direction, spearheaded by Andy Jenkins and Eric Anthony, created a visual identity centered around their iconic logo and clean graphic approach that stands apart from skateboarding's typical visual language. Their pioneering video contributions, from the groundbreaking "Mouse" to the more recent "Yeah Right!" and "Pretty Sweet," showcase skating that values creativity and individual expression while pushing technical boundaries. The brand's characteristic style resonates with Richmond's diverse skating landscape – from the technical precision needed for downtown ledge spots to the creative approaches that flourish at the Texas Beach DIY. Girl decks feature the consistent, reliable construction that serious skaters demand, with medium concaves and responsive pops that perform across varied terrain. Beyond just a board brand, Girl represents skateboarding's creative independence and longevity, maintaining their core values while continuing to evolve through decades of changing trends. Venue proudly stocks their complete collection, connecting Richmond skaters to one of the most respected names in skateboarding's history – a brand that's helped define the culture while remaining authentically rooted in its founding principles.
