ABOUT PYRO

BUILT TO BURN FREE.

PYRO Skateboards came out of San Diego the way a lot of good skate things do. There was no big master plan. Just skating, busted boards, late sessions, and a fire that never really went away.

I stepped on a skateboard for the first time in 1984. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was hooked. Decades later, I still am.

Life happened along the way. I grew up, became a firefighter, and started a family, but I never stopped skating.

In 2021, I finally decided to put a name to something that had been there all along: PYRO Skateboards.

This isn’t a corporate brand built in a boardroom. It’s a skater-owned company built by me, a lifelong San Diego skater and Fire Captain who still gets hyped to grab a board and go skate.

PYRO exists because I believe skateboarding is better when you don’t overthink it. Grab your board. Go skate. Fall. Laugh about it. Try it again. That’s the whole point.

We’re not trying to be the biggest skateboard company in the world. We’re trying to be the one you actually want under your feet.

BUILT FOR THE EVERYDAY SKATER.

PYRO is for the people who still show up. Before work. After work. On lunch breaks. At the local spot. At the park. On tired legs. On good days. On shitty days.

You don’t need a sponsor. You don’t need a filmer. You don’t need a million followers. And you definitely don’t need to land everything.

You just need enough fire to keep pushing.

That’s PYRO.

QUALITY MATTERS.

We take the boards seriously. Every PYRO deck is made through BBS Manufacturing by people with decades of experience building skateboards and knowing what a good board should feel like.

The idea is pretty simple: Build it nice or build it twice. We believe affordable should mean accessible, not cheap.

SAN DIEGO ROOTS.

PYRO started in San Diego, California. That’s home. But skateboarding was never meant to stay in one place. That’s why we’re building PYRO beyond San Diego and working with independent skate shops across the country.

Because those shops matter.

They’re where skaters get their first board. Where someone helps you figure out your setup. Where the local scene comes together. Where somebody behind the counter actually knows what they’re talking about.

We want PYRO in those shops.

Not every shop. The right ones.

When a shop carries PYRO, it’s more than another logo on the wall.

It’s a relationship. A handshake. A connection between one local skate community and another.

BUILT TO BURN FREE.

Everyone’s got something that keeps them moving.

For me, it’s always been skateboarding.

That same fire that got me pushing around San Diego as a kid eventually pushed me into firefighting and, years later, into building PYRO. Different paths, same fire. Whatever it is, don’t let it go out. Keep feeding it. Keep pushing. Keep showing up.

Let it burn.
