Classic Grip — A Canadian (MONTRÉAL) skate brand founded by Charles Rivard in 2017, Classic Grip started out with a focus on high-quality griptape and has since grown into a full skate-lifestyle label.

What Makes Classic Grip Stand Out

• Premium Griptape: Their griptape is made for performance — it’s durable, grippy, and comes in die-cut designs (9 × 33") that let some board graphics shine through. 

• Apparel & Accessories: Beyond grip, they also produce clothing (tees, hoodies), stickers, and accessories — channeling a classic skate-style with a modern twist. 

• Skate Culture Roots: Though the brand is relatively young, Classic Grip has already earned respect for its dedication to skaters and its grassroots skate identity.

• Accessible Pricing: Their signature grip sheets go for around $12–$13, making them a solid choice for both budget-conscious skaters and those who re-grip regularly.

Why We Choose Them

Classic Grip hits that sweet spot between affordable, functional, and stylish. Their grip tape is trusted by skaters who appreciate quality material without overpaying — and their apparel keeps the vibe rooted in real skate culture, not just hype.
