Toy Machine is a skateboard gear company that symbolizes 90s skate culture and the underground, artistic, rock & punk music movement, founded by Ed Templeton, the pro skateboard artist behind the brand's characters, and controlled by the Tum Yeto group since its inception.
The Toy Machine brand is well known for its skateboard packs designed for young skateboarders just starting out, enabling them to progress with an affordable first skateboard. Whether it's the deck or the skate trucks, the brand's sturdiness is second to none, offering a wide choice of complete skateboards of quality and fun, all in top-quality Canadian maple.
As well as offering a full stock of skateboards, the brand also sells board shapes with a more old-school concave for a more skate cruiser profile. The same goes for skate wheels from the Tum Yeto group, under the Pig Wheels brand.
Several collabs have been created with artist Ed Templeton, including Supreme products and skate shoes by Nike Sb and Emerica, perfect for slamming your first Olie. Other skateboard accessories such as grips in collaboration with Mob Grip, wax, bearings and collectors' items are available from Toy Machine skateboards. Toy Machine is to skate punk culture what Zooykr is to New York, Santa Cruz to California and su shape old school 90s. We've even seen artist and brand owner Ed send solid decorations on snowboards!
Ed Templeton belongs to the same generation of innovative skateboarders of the 90s as Andrew Reynolds with Baker, Paul Rodriguez with Primitive or Frenchman Soy Panday with Magenta skateboards, the made in France skate shop queen.
To wear the Toy Machine colors loud and clear, the North American label also offers a superb selection of streetwear, from sweatshirts and jackets to embroidered caps.
Hawaiisurf has supported the Toy Machine brand in its skate store and through kids at the skate park since its introduction to the European skateboard market. Solidity is still the name of the game with this brand, which is approaching 30 years of making skateboarders dream at every session...
