History

Howard and Carroll were riding for Plan B and left over a wheel invoicing dispute to start their own company. Baltimore worked in administration for World Industries at the time and left with them. Sean Sheffey, Jovante Turner, Tim Gavin, Rudy Johnson, Eric Koston, Guy Mariano all left their sponsors to make up the original Girl Skateboards team.

Chocolate Skateboards is Girl's sister team, formed in April 1994. It was started when the Girl roster was already too large to take on more riders.

Girl's most recent pro, Jereme Rogers, was let go on April 18, 2007.

Girl has recently won the Transworld "Best Team" award for 2006 and was nominated for numerous other awards.
