Andrew Brophy joins me from his home on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia, for a casual chat about his life so far. Andrew discusses his early years growing up in Margaret River WA, why he chose skateboarding over surfing, getting looked after by Brett Margaritis when he was a grom, those pivotal years living and skating in London, getting on Cliche' Skateboards, the transition to his current sponsor; Girl Skateboards, the instant friendship chemistry he found with Mike Carroll, the importance of Megan Baltimore to the longevity of the Girl Skateboard company, why "that" 360 flip over the picnic table was such a special moment in time for him, putting family first, the challenges of maintaining a pro career for an American company whilst living in Queensland Australia, injuries, sobriety, his backyard skatepark, and much much more.Since the provenance of Girl Skateboards in 1993, the brand has continued to etch a deep and profound legacy in skateboarding... and deservedly, Andrew Brophy, the kid from Margaret River,  is part of that legacy.  Epic.93' till infinity.Shan (Intro) Music by Def Wish Cast.Song: ForeverAlbum: The Evolution Machinewww.defwishcast.com.auhttps://defwishcastofficial.bandcamp.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHmCk7npfC5sbko7NiDdhyghttps://www.facebook.com/defwishcast/https://www.instagram.com/defwishcast/?hl=enUse Code: THT (for discounts and support the show at the same time)KRUSH ORGANICS - CBD oils and topicalsCode: THT(Get a HUGE 40% Discount...shipping is WORLDWIDE and fast).Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals.

Let's take a closer look at Girl: a staple favourite for many, with a cult-like following unlike almost any other skateboard brand! Girl was built around the idea of skateboarding for fun, and not taking life too seriously. Rick Howard and Mike Carroll had grown tired of the seriousness, and seriously short shelf life, of pro skateboarders, and wanted to imagine something new; this was at the time of Plan B's Virtual Reality film, when Carroll was just 17. So, Rick and Mike, alongside Spike Jonze and Megan Baltimore, split off to create Girl. This infuriated Steve Rocco of World Industries, who in retaliation, created a brand called Bitch skateboards to mock them out. With a stacked original team of Jeron Wilson, Sean Sheffey, Mike Carroll, Eric Koston, Rick Howard, Rick Mccrank, Brandon Biebel, Jeremy Rogers, Girl quickly became an iconic brand and team. Together, under Girl Films International, they filmed classics like Goldfish, Mouse, Yeah Right, Yes We Canada, Hard Euro Barge, Doll and many, many more; today, they post segments at Girl Headquarters, such as Crail Couch, where they catch up with pros through short interviews. Some members, such as Eric Koston, and Guy Mariano, have since left the time to start new brands, like Numbers. Nowadays, they've since added to the team, with firepower like Sean Malto, Andrew Brophy, and Mike Mo Capaldi; and even more recently adding Sean Bannerot, Niels Bennett, Griffin Gass, Manchild, and ironically, their actual first girl team rider, Breana Geering. Spike Jonze has been a significant part of what has made Girl special, with his background in Hollywood. This has led to appearances of celebrities such as Owen Wilson, Will Arnett, and Jack Black making appearances. http://shop.shredzshop.com for more info.
