April Skateboards was founded by Australian pro Shane O’Neill to provide a platform for the highest level of technical skating. At The Drop, we recognize April as a brand that prioritizes consistency and precision. Every deck is engineered to meet the demands of Olympic-level athletes, ensuring that every board you pull off our wall has the pop and flick required for advanced flip tricks.
An Elite Global Team
The strength of April is in its roster. With heavy hitters like Olympic gold medalist Yuto Horigome, the incredibly talented Rayssa Leal, and legend Guy Mariano, the brand is constantly being tested on the world’s biggest stages. When you skate an April board, you are riding the same shapes and wood used by the best in the business.
Premium Construction and Shapes
April decks are primarily constructed from 7-ply Hard Rock Maple, offering a stiff, responsive feel that holds its pop longer than average boards. They are known for their sleek, often "dipped" finishes and embossed graphics that give the boards a premium look. We carry a wide range of widths, from technical 8.0" shapes for street specialists to 8.5" models for those who need a bit more stability on transition.
Clean Aesthetics and Artistic Vision
Beyond the tech, April is defined by its art direction. Shane O'Neill’s influence ensures that every graphic is clean, intentional, and artistic. From the "Chrome Rose" series to minimalist logo decks, April boards are as much about style as they are about substance.
