🥚 NEW HE**IN SKATEBOARDS HAVE LANDED.

The new drop includes the Hard Boiled Egg, fresh Eyes decks in several different shapes, and a new Basalt-construction deck built lighter, thinner and stronger than a traditional seven-ply—with greater consistency throughout the life of the board.

He**in continues to prove that skateboards don’t need to follow one standard shape. Eggs, razor edges, shovel noses and wide setups—there’s something here for anyone looking beyond the ordinary popsicle.

Curbs are the new religion. Choose your shape wisely.

Available now at Amateur Athlete—independent and supporting skateboarding since 1982. He**in Skateboards

Some graphics don’t just represent skateboarding—they helped define it.

The new Santa Cruz Skateboards reissues have arrived, including the famous Roskopp Face 5 and the Natas Panther Sketch, featuring iconic artwork by Jim Phillips.

Amateur Athlete has been here since 1982, watching graphics like these go from new releases to pieces of skateboarding history. Decades later, they still hit just as hard.

Available now at Amateur Athlete—independent and supporting skateboarding for over four decades.

We’ve been doing this since 1982—long before “retro” became a trend.

The Erick Winkowski Dope Planet Mini 8.75 and Winkowski Samurai VX deck represent everything we still love about skateboarding: unmistakable artwork, unique shapes and boards made to be ridden.

The Samurai combines Winkowski’s signature style with Santa Cruz VX technology for a deck that’s thinner, stronger and built to take a beating.

More than four decades later, we still know the brands, the history and the products we put on our wall. That experience doesn’t come overnight.

Available now at Amateur Athlete—independent and supporting skateboarding since 1982.

WE KNOW SHOES. WE KNOW SKATEBOARDING.

New Vans Skate Half Cab just landed at Amateur. Vans has been part of skateboarding for generations, and it’s a brand we’ve stood behind for decades—not a giant sports conglomerate that found skateboarding later.

We’ve been picking the brands, shoes and clothing we believe in since 1982. Trends change. Good product and authenticity don’t.
