I’ve always been a fan of Cody’s skating. He’s super raw—no gimmicks here—and isn’t afraid to simply throw himself into the fire to secure the clip.
The dude just looks rad on a skateboard. Fierce. No nonsense. Style like his just can’t be faked and his deep bag of tricks and creative eye for sick spots makes him a real force to be reckoned with. He definitely deserves his name on a plank.

Mike Gigliotti just doesn’t miss when it comes to skate graphics—and his artwork for Cody’s first pro model is no exception. A nod to The Lost Boys? Instant classic. With Cody’s Santa Cruz roots, the reference couldn’t be more perfect.
And let’s be real here—turning pro for a brand like Antihero is a huge deal. Their team is elite and super tight knit. Not just anyone gets a pro board from the 18. But again, Cody is the perfect fit. We all know it. All you shoe brands out there—what’s up? Quit sleeping on this dude!
