Baker

Baker Skateboards launched in 2000 when professional skateboarder Andrew Reynolds teamed up with co-founder Jay Strickland to create something different. Based in Bakersfield, California, Baker quickly built a reputation for authentic skateboard decks that connected with street skaters. By 2008, they had become the top-selling brand under Blitz Distribution, proving their approach worked.

What sets Baker apart is their genuine crew mentality. Jay Strickland designed the original logo to represent their motley crew of talented skateboarders, and that authentic vibe carries through everything they make. Beyond their core skateboard decks, Baker expanded into wheels, accessories, and a full apparel line including tees, fleece, flannels, bottoms, and headwear. Reynolds built Baker for skaters who value realness over hype, creating gear that performs on the streets where it matters most.
