The WKND Skateboards squad is unarguably the funniest crew in skateboarding, and they just hit a major milestone: 10 years deep—and what a ride it’s been.
To celebrate, they did what they do best: released a hilarious new skit (which is quite possibly their best yet, if you ask me) and a super rad hardcover book that captures the originality, humor, and history of the brand perfectly. You know what to do. Press play and take a little trip down memory lane.

From the beginning, WKND has always stood out from the pack. Not just for their skating, either—which is proper in every sense—but for their unmatched creativity, storytelling, and downright comedic genius. And if you’ve ever watched one of their skits, you know exactly what I mean.

10 years as a brand is no small feat, especially in the wild world of skateboarding. Grant Yansura has done an incredible job keeping the vibes high and the squad tight, and they’re truly one of those teams that not just anyone can be a part of.
Okay. Let’s talk about the new WKND book, though. It’s available now online and at skateshops around the world, and every page is stacked with everything a die-hard WKND fan could ask for—behind-the-scenes stories, throwback photos, hilarious text chain screenshots, and a plenty of that signature WKND humor.

Whether you’ve been following the brand since the early days or just recently fell into the rabbit hole, it’s one of those books that belongs on every skateboarder’s coffee table (along with the rest of ’em).
I’m not saying the skate world constantly takes itself too seriously, but there are plenty of little corners that certainly do. In that sense, WKND has always been an absolute breath of fresh air, from their graphics to their team to their videos and really everything they represent.
