Chocolate skateboards is a professional skateboard company founded in April, 1994. As Girl Skateboards came into its own, the owners were approached by friends and other professional skateboarders who knew a good thing when they saw it. Rather than continue to stuff an already weighty Girl Skateboards roster with more riders, a new team and company were created. Chocolate Skateboards was started and is part of the Girl Distribution family, along with the afforementioned Girl Skateboards, Lakai Limited Footwear, Royal Trucks, Fourstar Clothing Co, Ruby Clothing, Crailtap (Girl Distributions online hub for all of their brands) and newer board company Skate Mental. Although they are marketed as separate teams, they appear in each other's videos, riders have been seen using either company's boards as well as both teams often touring together. Chocolate's main products are decks and wheels, and they also offer clothing and accessories.
