Cast a spell on your set-up and browse a range of shaped decks from Welcome Skateboards at Division 24 Skate Store.

Founded by Jason Celeya in 2010, although based in California, Welcome Skateboards has been as integral to the ‘small brand’ boom as the European brands which initially lead the resurgence in more underground board outfits such as Polar Skate Co, Palace Skateboards and Magenta Skateboards.

Much like the aforementioned companies, Welcome Skateboards has shifted from catering to a niche market to becoming a new favourite for many skateboarders. The brand certainly deserves credit for helping reintroduce shaped boards into the skateboarding world and is notable for producing a vast array of shapes and sizes – although there isn’t one conventional popsicle shaped piece in their entire arsenal of planks. Therefore, we suggest consulting their in-depth shape guide if you’re considering jumping from a standard shaped board to a Welcome deck.

With imaginative hand drawn graphics incorporating magic, folk-lore and even references to 1980s skateboard graphics and a consistently bright colour scheme ensures Welcome Skateboards are always eye catching (and not just due to their width).
