Girl Skateboard Company is a Torrance, California based skateboarding company that was started in August 1993 by Rick Howard, Mike Carroll, Megan Baltimore, and Spike Jonze. Their primary product is professionally endorsed skateboard decks. They also make shirts, hats, skateboard wheels, hoodies, trousers, bearings, belts, wallets, skateboarding films and many other accessories. Their logo is the same as the symbol on many women's restrooms.
Girl Skateboards has grown into the Girl Distribution family, which includes Girl Skateboards, Chocolate Skateboards, Lakai Limited Footwear, Royal Trucks, Fourstar Clothing, Ruby Clothing, Crailtap (Girl Distributions online hub for all of their brands) and newer board company Skate Mental. Although they are marketed as separate teams, they appear in each other's videos, riders have been seen using either company's boards as well as both teams often touring together.
