After 12 years of creativity and an undeniable love for skateboarding, Isle Skateboards has officially called it quits.
Co-founder Paul Shier shared the news on Instagram, giving a big shoutout to everyone who has been part of the brand’s journey—from skaters and artists to shops and fans who supported Isle along the way.
Isle was started in 2013 by Shier, Nick Jensen, and Chris Aylen after Blueprint Skateboards wrapped up.
Right from the get-go, Isle was built with a strong artistic identity and a tight-knit crew. Their boards were known for eye-catching graphics and cool collaborations, making them stand out in any shop.
Shier took a moment to recognize the team riders who helped shape Isle’s legacy, giving props to skaters like Tom Knox, Casper Brooker, and more. Each of them brought something different, making Isle feel like more than just a brand. It was a tight crew producing amazing video parts and contributing to the creative side of skating.
Isle delivered memorable projects like the full-length video Vase, solidifying their identity with stylish skating and a strong artistic direction.
Although they’re wrapping up, their impact will definitely carry on through their skate videos, the boards they released, and the community they built.
As for what’s next? Who knows! But one thing's for sure: the people behind Isle have left their mark on skateboarding, and the scene will keep evolving with them around.

"12 years ago @nick__jensen @chrisaylen and I started @isleskateboards I want to take a moment to personally thank everyone who ever skated for Isle, artist collaborators, distributors, stores that supported us and to anyone who put a hand in their pocket and bought a board or tee. We have officially closed the doors of Isle. Thank you @t0mkn0x @casperbrooker
