Lots of things happening with Poolside to catch everyone up on!  First off, Tom Groholski's new board is finally available and shipping!  It is a killer board and the graphics by Squindo are outstanding! 

 

 ABC did a great job as always!  We will also be releasing a handcrafted model for Tom using our in-house mold.  Keep your eyes peeled for that.

Next up is War Horse...this section has been static on our site for a while, but it should be up and running with a new board model very soon.  War Horse is going to be our separate division that caters to those who ride the "new school" shaped boards.  Stay tuned for more updates as things progress.

Finally, Chuck Treece is still on tour playing music with G Love and Special Sauce and riding one of our Angel models.  We will hopefully be releasing Chuck's board by sometime in late summer, so keep checking back.

Thanks again to everyone who continues to support our little company and American made skateboards!

The news keeps getting better.  Another East Coast legend is on board with Poolside!  A hearty welcome to Chuck Treece!  Chuck has continued to skate hard since the '80's while at the same time developing a career as a professional musician.  From forming the seminal skaterock band McRad to touring and recording with some of the music industry's biggest acts, Chuck has developed and impressive resume.  All of this while still skating and being a father to 4 children!

Chuck along with his good friend Tom G. will help continue to push Poolside to a new level.  To find out more about what Chuck is up to check these links:

Poolside goes to the land down under!  We would like to welcome aboard Decked Out Skateboards from Sutherland, Australia.  We are very excited to be able to offer our products to all the rippers in the land of the 'roo!

It is with great pleasure we announce our Jim Gray tribute model!


This is a very special joint venture with Jim's ABC Board Supply and Poolside.  As you can see by the above pictures it comes in two versions - Classic shape and Pool shape.  The Classic is modeled after one of Mr. Gray's earlier Blockhead pro shapes and the Pool board is the shape he currently rides.  A very big thanks to Blockhead for letting us use some of their classic graphics.

These boards can be purchased through local shops or from one of our online retailers such as Oldschoolskaters.net or Wardboards.com.  They can also be purchased directly from Poolside. A very small number are signed and numbered by Jim himself!  Get yours while the gettin' is good.

Jeff, owner of Poolside and crafter of our old school boards, attended the second leg of the Oregon Trifecta bowl series in West Linn, OR.  While there, he got a chance to chat with Jim Gray and Jon Jon Bryan of ABC Board Supply.  Both Jim and Jon Jon ripped in the Grand Masters division!
