WKND Skateboards

WKND Skateboards emerged in 2013 under the creative direction of Grant Yansura, bringing a fresh perspective to skateboarding through its distinctive animation-heavy videos and playful graphics. Known for their lighthearted approach, WKND has carved out a unique space in skating with projects like "Death Dance" and "The WKND Radio Hour," which blend creative storytelling with raw skateboarding footage.

The team roster includes standout riders like Riley Pavey, Jordan Taylor, and Alex Schmidt, who contribute to the brand's eclectic identity. WKND's deck series often feature hand-drawn illustrations and references to pop culture, creating collectible pieces that resonate with both skaters and art enthusiasts. Their collaborations with artists and brands like New Balance Numeric demonstrate their commitment to pushing creative boundaries while maintaining skateboarding authenticity.
