Girl Power

Skateboarding is for everyone—but it hasn’t always felt that way. For a long time, women and nonbinary skaters had to carve out their own space in a scene that wasn’t always welcoming. Thankfully, that's changing fast—and the culture is better for it.

From pioneers like Elissa Steamer to modern-day pros like Rayssa Leal, Leticia Bufoni, and Nora Vasconcellos, women have been reshaping skateboarding in every direction. These skaters aren’t just “good for a girl”—they’re legit, period. Technical, stylish, fearless.

At 512 Loop, we back anyone who puts time into the craft. Our shop isn’t built around hype or exclusion. We curate boards, shoes, and apparel that matter—to the scene, to the art, and to the individual skater.

Whether you’re bombing hills in Nike SBs, learning your first ollie, or working on clips for your crew’s next edit, we’ve got gear that fits your style and your story. Our collection includes apparel from brands like Fucking Awesome, Alltimers, and Carpet, plus skate shoes from Vans, Nike SB, and Converse—hand-picked, not mass-produced.

Representation matters. So does support. That’s why we’re always down to feature more diverse skaters, showcase independent voices, and carry gear that reflects where skateboarding is actually going.

Keep showing up. Keep rolling. Keep doing it your way.
