Wknd Skateboards

WKND Skateboards was founded in 2014 by filmer and creative Grant Yansura in Los Angeles, built around a sharp mix of dry humor, strong art direction, and legitimately progressive street skating. The brand quickly stood out for its clever graphics and videos that don’t take themselves too seriously—blending satire, clean design, and unexpected concepts without losing credibility. Behind the humor is a seriously skilled team, known for smooth, technical skating and parts that are both fun to watch and genuinely impressive.

The San Gabriel Valley connects with WKND because it doesn’t try to act tougher than it is. It’s confident without being loud, creative without being forced. Around here, skaters appreciate brands that understand skateboarding is supposed to be fun—even when you’re putting in real work. WKND brings personality to the table, and in a scene that can get overly serious, that balance goes a long way.
