Palace Skateboard Decks
Founded in London by Lev Tanju in 2009, Palace emerged from the city's South Bank scene to become one of skateboarding's most recognizable and culturally impactful brands. Their approach combines quintessentially British humor, streetwear sensibilities, and genuine skateboarding credibility that resonates with Richmond riders seeking authenticity with distinctive style. Palace's team features a global roster including Lucien Clarke, Rory Milanes, Heitor Da Silva, and Kyle Wilson – skaters who approach urban terrain with the same creative vision and technical precision needed for Richmond's diverse spots. Their iconic Tri-Ferg logo has transcended skateboarding to become a streetwear staple, while their graphics program balances irreverent messaging with clever cultural references that stand apart from American skating's visual language. Despite their fashion crossover success, Palace maintains legitimate skateboarding credentials through their video output, from "Palasonic" to "NEPALS," showcasing raw, unfiltered skating that connects with riders attacking everything from the DIY spots at Texas Beach to downtown's technical architecture. Their board construction delivers consistent pop and reliable performance whether you're grinding crusty ledges at the Manchester spots or flowing through smoother plazas throughout RVA. Palace drops generate global anticipation through their limited availability and distinctive marketing approach – cryptic lookbooks and promotional videos that embrace absurdist humor while maintaining skateboarding's core values. When your setup needs to perform across Richmond's variable terrain while representing skateboarding's most progressive cultural moment, Palace delivers performance wrapped in unmistakable British attitude.
