Alien Workshop Skateboards Direct from SkateHut
Alien Workshop is one of the most iconic and influential skateboard brands in the world, built on creativity, individuality, and a commitment to doing things differently. Founded in October 1990, Alien Workshop was born from the idea of creating a truly unique skateboard company that challenged the norms of the skateboarding industry. From day one, the brand set out to operate entirely on its own terms, forging a distinct identity that continues to resonate with skaters worldwide. Headquartered in Ohio, far from the traditional skateboarding epicentres, Alien Workshop embraced its deliberate isolation. This separation became a defining strength, allowing the brand’s environment to shape its unmistakable aesthetic, forward-thinking designs, and innovative approach to skateboard manufacturing. The result is a skateboard brand that stands apart—raw, experimental, and endlessly creative.
The Alien Workshop skate team reflects the brand’s philosophy of individuality and diversity. Legendary skateboarder Rob Dyrdek was the first official Alien Workshop team rider and has been part of the brand since its earliest days. Over the years, AWS has been home to some of the most respected and influential skaters in history, including Heath Kirchart, Grant Taylor, Omar Salazar, Dylan Rieder, Mikey Taylor, Tyler Bledsoe, Jake Johnson, and Gilbert Crockett. Each rider brings their own unique style, helping carry the Alien Workshop legacy to the streets, parks, and skate spots across the globe. With over 20 years of skateboarding history, Alien Workshop has built a reputation for producing high-quality skateboard decks, complete skateboards, and skate accessories that meet the demands of both professional and everyday skaters. Known for their durability, performance, and distinctive graphic designs, Alien Workshop decks remain a top choice for skaters looking to push progression and express themselves through skateboarding.
Available now at SkateHut, Alien Workshop skateboards continue to evolve while staying true to their original vision. Driven by passion, innovation, and authenticity, AWS remains a cornerstone of modern skateboarding culture—limitless by design, uncompromising in quality, and dedicated to inspiring the next generation of skaters.
