Zoo York Skateboards

Zoo York grew out of NYC’s graffiti and hip‑hop scenes, which influences their board graphics. They use 7-ply maple decks with medium concave, providing a familiar feel for street and transition skating. Their artwork often features graffiti tags and cityscapes, appealing to riders who appreciate urban aesthetics.
