Primitive Skateboarding

Primitive Skateboarding is a skateboard company created by professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez, Executive Vice President Heath Brinkley, CEO Andy Netkin, and Jubal Jones.[1][2] Primitive is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.[3]

History

In 2008, Paul, Heath Brinkley, Andy Netkin, Jay Partow, and Jubal Jones founded "Primitive", a skateboard and clothing store in Encino, CA.[4][5] Paul Rodriguez had been sponsored by Plan B Skateboards, but quit the team out of a desire to have more ownership and control over his career. After Paul's departure from Plan B, he printed and sold a limited run of 500 gold-foil Primitive decks, and due to the strong response, decided to launch an ongoing skateboard company, with the help of Andy and Jubal.[6]

Ten months after Paul Rodriguez's departure from Plan B, Primitive was officially announced on April 10, 2014. The original team was Paul Rodriguez as a pro, with Carlos Ribeiro and Nick Tucker as amateurs.[7]

Collaborations

Primitive has featured a number of "collaboration" decks and griptape that featured rappers like Tupac Shakur, and Notorious B.I.G.

In 2018 they collaborated with Dragon Ball Z and Rick and Morty[8][9]
