đ¸ NEWS: Investing in the Next Generation of Skateboarding
Paddle Frogs Opens Applications for First-Ever Sponsored Rider Crew
Paddle Frogs Skateboarding is thrilled to announce something weâve been building toward since day oneâour search for the very first official members of the Paddle Frogs Sponsored Rider Crew.
Our brand launched with kids and families in mind. Now, weâre ready to support young riders who skate with heart, creativity, and dedication. If your child lives on their board, sets goals, and loves expressing themselves through skateboarding, this opportunity was designed specifically for them.
Why Weâre Doing This
The future of skateboarding belongs to the kids who are out there pushing every dayânot just for trophies, but because skating brings joy, confidence, community, and personal growth.
Paddle Frogs wants to help nurture that journey.
We arenât looking for perfection. Weâre looking for passion.
đ What Sponsored Riders Receive
Official Paddle Frogs Gear, Including:
- Paddle Frogs skateboard decks (in multiple sizes)
- Branded apparel such as tees, hoodies, and seasonal releases
- Access to new product drops before anyone else
As our catalog expands, sponsored riders will receive updated gear over time.
This is a real partnershipâongoing support, not a one-time shipment.
đš What We Look for in Riders
Authenticity First
We want riders who show:
- Their true personality
- Their real skate environment
- Their preferred style of progression
We do not want staged commercials or forced content.
A beginner learning to ride proudly is just as valuable as an intermediate rider landing their first kickflip.
Progression Is Personal
Some kids want to go pro.
Some are happy riding at local parks with friends.
We support both.
Our Community Standards To ensure a safe, family-friendly environment for all, we require that all rider content (including music used in skate edits) adheres to the following:
- Clean Content Only: No profanity, coarse language, or the N-word.
- Wholesome Themes: Content must be free of references to drugs, perversion, or suggestive behavior.
- Positive & Inclusive: We strictly avoid political subjects or content that excludes anyone based on race or gender.
The goal is simple: Genuine enthusiasm expressed through respectful, upbeat, and family-safe content that inspires the next generation.
đ¨ Early 2026 Launch Announcement: Youth Pro Deck Size
Many young skaters need pro-quality materials built for smaller hands, smaller feet, and lighter bodyweight.
So we designed one.
Youth Popsicle Deck Specifications

- Concave: Medium
- Wheelbase: 13.5"

Our sponsored riders will be among the first to skate this model when production begins early 2026.
đ¨ Collaborative Design Opportunity
Let Your Childâs Imagination Become Part of Skateboarding History
We are opening the design door.
Sponsored riders can submit original artwork or design ideas for future productsâincluding decks and apparel.
- Artwork must be 100% original
- No borrowed trademarks, characters, or copyrighted elements
- Parents may assistâbut the idea must come from the rider
Every chosen design will display:
- The childâs name or skate alias
- A dedicated product page mention
- Recognition of their creative contribution
This is not just sponsorship.
Itâs inclusion in shaping what Paddle Frogs becomes.
đŠ How to Apply
Parents and guardians may apply on behalf of their child.
Please email info@paddlefrogs.com with:
- Your childâs name and age
- A brief introduction to their skate journeyâwhy they love it, how they practice, or goals they talk about

We donât require professional footageâjust real riding.
đ¸ Closing Message
This is an opportunity to be part of something from the beginningâto grow as our brand grows, to shape what kidsâ skateboarding looks like, and to join a team that values authenticity, expression, and progression.
We canât wait to meet the first group of Paddle Frogs riders.
See you soon, and keep rolling forward.
