Hot off the presses the new issue of Concrete Wave Magazine and the 2010 calendar! Skatera is so excited to have our very own team rider Kora grace the pages as Miss June! Congratulations Kora and thanks for rippin’ it up in our Skin-knee Skatera Jeans!

SKATERA thinks GRO rocks! We share the same vision of getting more girls on skateboards and feeling the stoke! What is GRO you ask? It is the brain child of a skater girl with a vision! Courtney wants to get the word out to America that girls can and should be skating and she has been doing it one city at a time! She has spent the last year touring the US building skate girl communities and getting more girls on skateboards. We had a chance to catch up with Courtney when she was on our home turf in Southern Cali.
