Grizzly Griptape was founded in 2002 by Torey Pudwill, who was just 12 years old at the time. Torey began experimenting with developing his own griptape at home, and little did he know that these humble beginnings would lead to an influential name in skateboarding.

Grizzly initially started as a wax company. The name “Grizzly” came from a bear-shaped baking mold that Torey and his friends used to make wax. Later, they evolved into a DIY cut-out used on sheets of grip, which they managed to score for free and resell to a couple of shops.

Grizzly Griptape is well-known for its iconic bear logo, which can be spotted at skateparks across the globe!. But beyond the logo, Grizzly produces high-quality griptape that provides excellent board control. They’ve perfected the art of using silicon carbide to create griptape with optimal grit sizes.

Grizzly has assembled an impressive team of skateboarders and while the team roster has evolved over the years, it has included notable names like Torey Pudwill himself, Chris Cole, Sean Malto, and Mikemo Capaldi.

Torey Pudwill - The Story Behind Grizzly

"one of the nicest guys i ever met so chill and friendly happy doing what hes doing"

"This guy looks humble to come up with an idea to start a grip tape company and make it into a cool company. I don't think I ever heard of a grip tape company that sponsors riders until Pudwill came along. Just like Diamond started with hardware (bolts/nuts)."

"That's exactly what me and one of my friends are doing right now. It's called Vanilla Wax and were selling it online. Just type it in. I love how t-pud shows an amazing example of this"
