Premium Grizzly griptape providing superior grip and distinctive graphics from Torey Pudwill's rider-owned brand.
Founded by pro skateboarder Torey Pudwill in 2010, Grizzly rapidly evolved from upstart challenger to industry standard through a perfect blend of technical performance and distinctive branding. Their signature bear logo has become immediately recognizable across skateparks and street spots worldwide, adorning the boards of some of skating's most technical riders. Grizzly's grip formula delivers that perfect balance between initial tackiness and long-term durability, maintaining essential friction long after inferior tapes have worn smooth. Their precision die-cut sheets apply bubble-free and resist peeling at the edges, even through Richmond's humidity and variable temperatures that challenge lesser adhesives. Beyond their classic black offerings, Grizzly pioneered the contemporary graphic grip movement with cutouts, prints, and collaborative designs that transform the functional into the expressive without sacrificing performance. Richmond's diverse terrain – from the technical ledges downtown to the DIY transitions at Texas Beach – demands grip that performs consistently across varied surfaces and conditions, which is exactly what Grizzly delivers. Their team, featuring standouts like Pudwill himself alongside Ryan Decenzo and Tiago Lemos, demonstrates the brand's capabilities through some of street skating's most technically demanding maneuvers. Whether you're setting up a fresh complete or replacing worn tape, Grizzly provides the critical interface between you and your board when commitment to technical tricks at the Manchester spots leaves no room for equipment failure.
