Dogtown Skateboards is proud to announce
the signing of Tosh Townend to its legendary team.

Tosh was recognized at a young age for possessing a grown up style of skateboarding. He grabbed the attention of the skateboard world when he feeble grinded El Toro at the age fifteen. “Dogtown is a perfect fit for me, it has deep heritage within skateboarding and surfing,” said Tosh. “I have always been stoked on what Jim has done with the company, when I had the opportunity to join the family; there was no decision to be made, but to ride for Dogtown.”

“We look forward to the contributions that Tosh Townend will bring to the table. Tosh brings a veteran knowledge and experience of what needs to be done as a pro. He understands the history and tradition of Dogtown and promises to bring the same ‘Skate for Life’ commitment”, says Jim “Red Dog” Muir, (Dogtown Founder/Owner).

Dogtown will be launching Tosh Townend pro model decks, t-shirts and including a cruiser skateboard.

Tosh will be skating at the Dew Tour and Maloof Money Cup, along with other events this summer.
