This ain’t your brother’s skateboard!


This is just awesome.

Curly Grrlz Board Sports is a skateboard company created with the sole purpose of providing girls with awesome skateboards and accessories.
Ever wonder why girls had to skate on guys skateboards or why nobody ever made cool skateboards for girls? So did we! That’s why we did. These aren’t spin-offs from a boy’s line, mind you, but are specifically designed for girls.

Sweet. The Curly Grrlz site also features accessories, a blog, a Curly Grrlz street team, pics of girls doing their thing, and an “emerging talent” section where the coolness of 9 year-olds will put you to shame.
I had a skateboard when I was 8 years old; it was pink and black and had flamingoes on it and I fucking loved it. Unfortunately, I was never a graceful child and busted my ass pretty much immediately. My subsequent skateboarding endeavors were limited to riding around my block sitting on the board. Yes, I am that lame.
Props to Gwen for letting me know about this. (Though I’m jealous, Curly Grrlz sent her a sticker that says “Girls NOT skateboarding is a crime.” I want it.)
