About Us

Nails Skateboarding is an independent brand that is dedicated to promoting skate culture for outsiders. Our product range includes decks, grip tape, accessories, and apparel. Founded in 2022, we are owned and operated by JD Merrill and Dan Gardner, who are not only first cousins but also passionate skateboarders.

Situated in Fremont, Ohio, Nails Skateboarding is committed to giving back to the local skate community that shaped them and creating access to skate culture for those who might feel intimidated to join. Whether you're a new skater or considering taking up skateboarding, we want to help you get started. At Nails, we believe that true "skaters" don't discriminate based on gender identity, skin color, or body type. All we care about is seeing you nail a Tre Flip down a 6 set and embody the boldness that defines our brand.

 

IF YOU'VE BEEN TOLD OR MADE TO FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T BELONG, THEN YOU'RE ALREADY AS TOUGH AS NAILS. SKATEBOARDING IS FOR EVERYONE. REFUSE TO BE IGNORED.

SKATE ON NAILS.
