A BETTER SKATE EXPERIENCE THROUGH CHEMISTRY

With Gator Skins, we’ve simply taken a proven product - layers of paper saturated with phenolic resin - and applied superior chemistry, achieving a much higher level of performance than the "establishment brand". Our panels are formulated to provide a near perfect interaction with urethane wheels. Gator Skins grip when you need – and slide when you want, creating a control factor on tricks like reverts that is unlike any other surface you’ve ever ridden. Our resin is produced in-house and has been formulated, tuned and tested specifically for skateboarding use. It is the secret sauce that sets Gator Skins apart. We are able to customize it to exact specifications, which results in the optimum density, hardness, flexibility and, especially, level of grip. These are the factors that determine not only the durability of the product but the quality of the ride.

WE’RE IN THIS

We don't do this just to turn a profit. Skateboarding is a lifetsyle, a culture, a brotherhood - and we are in it. Whether it's a backyard ramp jam or a contest attended by thousands, we show up. We also ride these wooden toys and back a team of rippers that we claim as our own. This thing that we sacrifice our lives, bodies and resources to is the best thing in the world. We are lucky we found it - or that it found us. Skateboarding is not a means to an end - it is the end itself. We are privileged to be able to contribute to this way of life and will never take it for granted.
