ABOUT BEAR WALKER

FUSING MY PASSION FOR POP CULTURE AND SKATECRAFT

Our CEO, Bear Walker has made a name in the collectible industry with his highly functional art, now expanding beyond just skateboards to premium electric guitars. Being a lifelong pop culture/comics/movie fan, Walker brings nostalgia and expertise to his collections so that products feel more like an experience than an item on a shelf.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

What happens when you mix a college art project with passion, hard work, and a desire to build my own vision of what a skate board could be? You get Bear Walker.

From a tiny room in a warehouse in South Carolina, to a room in a barn on my family’s farm in Alabama, what began as Locomotiv in 2013 grew to be able to kill my day job remodeling houses, and in 2016 morphed into Kodiak Boards. From there, and a lot of sleepless nights fueled by ideas and stoked with passion, I broke ground on Bear Walker Industries in 2017.

Our mission at BWI is to make the best products in the world that stay true to Bear's original vision of what art and skate could be.

MADE ON THE GULF COAST OF ALABAMA

Bear Walker Industries began in 2017 and has been manufacturing high end, pop culture skateboards for the last 7 years. In the last two years we have branched out into making custom guitars and street decks as well as apparel. Our carved out boards and guitars are made locally in Daphne, AL and our apparel and street decks are sourced and manufactured within the USA. The latest edition to our company is the newly open storefront located in Pensacola, FL. Bear Walker Skateshop will carry all of our carved out stock boards, limited edition street decks, apparel and custom guitars.

MADE FOR YOU.

Everything handcrafted by my team has you in mind. I know what it means to make a purchase that expresses your hard-earned work too. I share that passion and commitment. It took 5 years of testing to perfect our signature patented grip, 3 years to get the Hyberium wheels just right, and with each drop we dedicate more time to give you the best product and experience.
