Radio Tower Skateboard Deck 8.25

Radio Skateboards is the Berlin-based German skate brand founded in 2003 by Arne Krueger — one of the most distinctive indie labels in Berlin's skate scene. The output is clearly Berlin DNA: pragmatic decks, anti-glossy graphic design, statement editions like "Gaydio" (Pride) or local nods like "Big Apple" and "Mind The Gap".

Heritage — from Berlin, against the mainstream

Arne Krueger launched Radio in 2003 with a clear approach: no reselling US licenses, no hype — just an independent Berlin skate brand. Over 20 years on, Radio is one of the longest-running German skater-run brands with consistent hardware quality and a recognizable graphic voice.
