Birdhouse Skateboards: A Legacy of Skate Culture and Innovation – Now at Bay Sports

If you’ve spent any time around skateparks or browsing through skate shops, chances are you’ve seen the iconic Birdhouse logo. Founded in 1992 by none other than skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, Birdhouse Skateboards has grown into one of the most recognized and respected names in the skateboarding world. And now, Bay Sports is proud to partner with Birdhouse to bring their legendary boards and gear directly to our customers.

The Origin Story

When Tony Hawk parted ways with Powell Peralta in the early 1990s, he and fellow pro skater Per Welinder decided to start a brand of their own. Thus, Birdhouse Projects (later shortened to Birdhouse Skateboards) was born. At the time, the skateboard industry was shifting, and starting a brand was a bold move. But Hawk and Welinder’s vision paid off, with Birdhouse becoming synonymous with quality decks and a stacked roster of talented skaters.

Why Birdhouse Stands Out

1. Legendary Founder
Tony Hawk’s name alone brings credibility, but Birdhouse isn’t just riding on reputation. The brand has consistently pushed the sport forward, producing top-tier gear and sponsoring some of the most influential skaters.

2. Quality Boards
Birdhouse decks are known for their durability and pop. Made with 7-ply Canadian maple, they provide the perfect balance of strength and responsiveness. Whether you’re dropping into a vert ramp or working on technical street tricks, Birdhouse boards are designed to handle it all.

3. Team and Culture
Birdhouse has always had a strong team of skaters, from veterans to up-and-coming talent. Their videos, tours, and demos have become a staple in skate culture, inspiring generations of riders. The brand blends a sense of fun with hardcore skate performance.

Styles and Graphics

Birdhouse Skateboards are also known for their distinctive graphics. From bold, edgy art to collaborations with artists and pop culture references, their decks stand out both in performance and style. Many riders choose Birdhouse not just for the ride, but also for the statement the board makes under their feet.

More Than Just Boards

Birdhouse doesn’t stop at decks. The brand also offers complete skateboards, apparel, and accessories, making it a go-to for both beginners and seasoned pros. For newcomers, Birdhouse completes are a reliable entry point into skating, offering pro-level quality right out of the box. And now, with Bay Sports as an official reseller, it’s easier than ever for Australian skaters to access Birdhouse gear.

The Legacy Continues

Decades after its founding, Birdhouse Skateboards remains a major player in the skateboarding scene. With a commitment to innovation, quality, and skate culture, it continues to inspire skaters around the globe. Through our partnership with Birdhouse, Bay Sports is excited to provide skaters with access to this iconic brand, right alongside our range of premium water sports gear.

Birdhouse Skateboards isn’t just a brand; it’s a piece of skateboarding history. Backed by the Hawk legacy and built on quality, style, and community, Birdhouse remains one of the best choices for anyone serious about skating. And with Bay Sports now proudly stocking Birdhouse Skateboards, you can grab your next board with confidence, knowing you’re riding a legend.
