Grizzly Griptape
Grizzly Griptape is a skateboarding marque that offers a variety of griptape, clothing, and skateboard hardware. Widely recognised in the world of skateboarding, the brand provides a comprehensive selection of products ranging from Grizzly skateboard decks to T-shirts to skate wax. Yet, it’s the tape that remains the brand's claim to fame, with items like the Bear Grip tape celebrated for their elegant designs and fine finish.
Established in 2002 by Torey Pudwill at the young age of 12, he started by experimenting with crafting his own griptape at home. From these modest beginnings, Grizzly has grown to be a significant influence in skateboarding, with its iconic bear emblem visible at skateparks across the globe.
As the years have gone by, Grizzly has also curated a successful skate team, featuring notable figures such as Mark Appleyard, Shane O’Neill, and Luan Oliveira.
