The Diné Skate Garden™ emerged as a labor of love within the tight-knit community of Toadlena, also known as "Tóhaaliní" (Where the Water Flows Out), nestled in the Two Grey Hills chapter of the Navajo Nation. In this remote enclave, outdoor recreational facilities are a rarity, but the resilient spirit of the community, fueled by a DIY ethos, prevails. Our journey with this project began through the introduction to Diné artist and surfskater, Di’orr Greenwood, who just so happens to be the Swirl Surfskate Fest 2022 champion. As conversations unfolded, a natural partnership emerged. With Di’orr at the helm of the artwork, crafting a visually captivating Navajo graphic, this collaboration aspires to make skateboarding accessible to indigenous youth. Together, we aim to transform lives through the empowering spirit of skateboarding.
Adorned with striking Navajo graphics by Diné artist Di'orr Greenwood, this board is a fusion of precision engineering and artistic flair. With it’s wider spooned nose and big tail, this board is a powerhouse packed into a 31.25” length.
