Today, let's talk about a topic that's close to our hearts and our grip tapes – supporting our female skateboarding community. Our sisters on wheels deserve the same recognition and support as the dudes.

One way to do that? Invest in gear from female pros.

You might be wondering, why should I specifically shop from female pros? There's more to it than you might think.

1. Empowering More Girls to Go Pro:

By investing in gear from female professionals, you're contributing to a positive cycle that fuels the dreams of aspiring girl skaters. When you support female pros, you're sending a powerful message to the industry that there's a demand for women's skateboarding. This demand can drive companies to invest in more female talent, providing opportunities for up-and-coming shredders to turn pro.

2. Boosting Female Pros' Careers:

Let's face it – the skateboarding world has historically been a bit of a boys' club. But by choosing gear from female pros, you're directly supporting their careers. Increased sales and visibility for their products mean more sponsorship opportunities, more recognition, and ultimately, more badass female skaters turning heads in the industry. It's time to level the playing field and let our female pros shine!

3. Growing the Female Skateboarding Community:

When you buy gear from female pros, you're contributing to the growth of the overall female skateboarding community. As more girls see their role models thriving and succeeding, they'll be inspired to join the skateboarding family. This influx of new talent not only strengthens the community but also challenges stereotypes and reshapes the narrative surrounding women in skateboarding.

4. Industry Support for Female Skaters:

As the demand for female-centric gear increases, the industry will naturally respond by providing more support. This means more sponsorships, more opportunities for exposure, and an overall stronger backing for female skateboarders. By choosing gear from female pros, you're actively participating in the movement to make skateboarding a more inclusive and diverse space.

Where can you find this awesome gear? Many female pros have their own signature lines or collaborate with brands that are committed to supporting women in skateboarding. From decks and wheels to clothing and accessories, there's a growing variety of options to choose from.

Let's make a conscious effort to support our female pros, not just for the awesome gear they bring to the table but for the positive impact it has on the entire skateboarding community. So, next time you're looking to upgrade your setup, consider investing in gear that helps empower our fellow female skaters. Let's make skateboarding more inclusive together.
