Why Rooted Griptape?

Rooted Griptape exists for the people who actually skate. We’re inspired by the streets, the parks, and the DIY culture that surrounds skateboarding — the music blasting in the background, the art on the walls, and the community that keeps it all alive. Every decision we make, from selecting our grip tape to designing packaging, comes from a deep connection to this world.

Premium Grip, Thoughtfully Curated

Our current grip tape isn’t mass-produced fluff — it’s selected for performance. It’s water-resistant, perforated for easy installation, and built to hold up under real skating conditions. We focus on quality first, making sure every sheet delivers the traction and reliability skaters expect.

Rooted in Community

Skateboarding is more than tricks — it’s a culture. Rooted Griptape is shaped by local scenes, independent artists, and skaters who push the sport forward every day. We want to give back to that community by creating products that skaters can trust and spaces where they feel included.

Looking Forward

Our ultimate goal is to develop hemp-based grip tape that meets premium performance standards while being better for the planet. We’re not rushing it — every step we take is about getting it right. The standard grip you see now helps fund the research and development of this next generation.

Join the Ride

Whether you’re perfecting your flip tricks, cruising the streets, or just collecting decks, Rooted Griptape is for skaters who care about performance, culture, and the future of the sport. Every sheet you buy supports sustainable innovation and a community-driven approach to skateboarding.
