“While joining the Girl team in 1993 as an amateur, Tony missed out on the original round of what’s become known as the 93 Til graphics. When Fergs pro model was retired in 2004, Girl hadn’t yet adopted the tradition of revisiting the 93 Til’s each season. We found it extra special to give Tone the 93 Til board he almost missed.
A reissue for Tony Ferguson has long been in the works. With so many classic graphics, picking a favorite was more than half the holdup. When we finally zeroed in on the 1996, Art In America board by Andy Jenkins, we knew it was the one.”

“For the past ten years or so, I get a lot of mixed heavy feelings on the posts about Keenan on the 4th of July. I can’t think of that day and him in anything but a sad, painful way. Keenan passed that weekend at a 4th celebration. He was too young to die and I think, I had hoped, too old to die in the way that he did. And when someone is as alive as Keenan was, as aware of making all moments of so much value, never letting circumstances limit him, it feels, well, just completely fucked. So my proposal is this; how about we celebrate August 4th? The day Keenan and his magical energy, infectious loving and lust for life was born? It’s my selfish suggestion but I thought I’d ask for it to be considered. I love you, Keenan, today and all others.” – Megan Baltimore

“Preduce has been friends with Malto and Brophy for years. On the last trip we were all on together pre COVID, Brophy said it would be rad if we could do a Girl and Preduce collab and I remember him hitting up Rick right away about it. I’ve been a fan of Girl from the start and grew up with the brand but I thought there was a very slim chance it could happen. So I was blown away when Rick replied right away and said he wanted to be part of the trip too for when the collab would happen. Griffin Gass grew up skating in Seattle with one of our riders Jasper Dohrs and he’s long overdue for a trip to Thailand. So we thought it made sense to make 4 boards for Brophy, Malto, Rick And Griffin. For the designs, our art director TRK wanted to play around with the OG Girl logo. He’s influenced by traditional Thai art you can find in Thai temples and sacred books that he revisits with a modern twist. He dressed the OG logo as traditional Thai dancers and hill tribe women from different regions of Thailand.”
