Gabriel Summers has officially found a new home with Thames.
As we previously reported, Gabbers parted ways with Jamie "The Chief" Thomas' brand Zero Skateboards.
The move happened quickly, and it feels like both Gabriel and the brand are ready to build something fresh together.
Thames began as a clothing brand with strong ties to skate culture. Over time, it has grown beyond apparel and started making skateboard decks.
With that step, it makes sense that they would want to support real skaters who can represent what they are building.
Gabriel is now the first professional skateboarder to join the team, and he is also the first to have a pro model released by Thames.
That gives the brand a new level of presence in skateboarding and shows they are serious about entering the space in a more committed way.
Gabriel has always kept things gnarly and straightforward. He is the kind of skater who does not need to say much. His skating does all the talking.
There is no official word yet on future video parts or projects, but with Gabriel involved, there is reason to expect something worth watching.
Thames now has someone who brings real experience and a proven track record in the streets.
