Everyone loves a good visual, and sometimes scrolling through instagram for good skate photos is a crap shoot.

So here are 5 awesome boards to follow on Pinterest  . Get ready to get inspired, learn about some new skater girls, and start pinning!


Skate Style (Sunset Sessions) - this is a great board to follow, but seriously ALL of their boards will inspire you.  Not a bad one in the bunch!

Skater Girls (Karine Gratton) - great selection of female skate shots - all pretty rad!  She keeps pinning more & more. Awesome source of inspiration.

Go Skateboarding (Dora Kim) - fun, colorful and mainly covers skater girls. Some fashion skate shots mixed with core. 

Shred (Volcom Womens) - mix of skate & surf, but what we love is it isn't and ad for Volcom - its a mix of inspirational images that evoke the California girl lifestyle.

Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word - yep, we have our own board on founder Cindy Whitehead's Pinterest page. Some pins are from our GN4LW site (so Pinterest great place to catch up if you've missed some of our site posts) and we love to pin what we find on other people's pages.

5 skateboard instagram accounts you should be following & why

1.   Sierra_Prescott : Because everyday is another pic of her skating somewhere in LA with her hair flying, and usually, air under her wheels. The composition of the photos is great and so is she. Sierra has that full on 70's skater girl vibe going on that we love.

2.  Poppystarr_art :  She rules the pools from Australia to California, but did you also know that Poppy is an amazing artist?  She is probably as well known in Australia for her beautiful artwork as she is for her skating - and that is saying a lot! She uses the sales of her art & jewelry to fund her trips to the USA for skate comps. #inspiring

3.  Longboardgirlscrew :  These talented girls led by founder Valeria Kechichian, skate the world and do it with style & grace. The girls featured on their instagram are badass and legit.  Be prepared to be inspired daily!

4.  Youdidnotskatethat :  The name says it all. Shot after shot of photos from magazines, ad campaigns, and girls who just want to be on a fashion blog or Pinterest. These girls probably don't skate, but since "skateboarding is the new black" in the fashion world , we'll play along.  These photos are guaranteed to make you laugh.

5.  Skateistan  :  Did you know that because of Skateistan, Afghanistan has the highest rate of female skaters in the world?  Or that girls in Afghanistan can't ride bikes but they can skateboard?  Watch these girls learn new skills, have fun, and progress on ramps faster than you can even imagine. It will make you warm and fuzzy inside. Promise.
