The Real Story
Real was founded in 1991 by Jim Thiebaud and Tommy Guerrero under San Francisco's Deluxe Distribution — the same house as Spitfire, Thunder and Krooked. From the start it was a skater-owned, skater-run brand built on authenticity, and it's stayed that way. The team — across generations from Dennis Busenitz to Ishod Wair — is among the most respected in skating, and Real has long backed progressive causes and grassroots skating. It's a brand with genuine substance behind the graphics.
What Real Is Known For
Real makes consistently high-quality decks across a full range of shapes and sizes, from team-model popsicles to the durable Renewal range. They're known for solid pop, reliable construction and a no-nonsense focus on skating well. A safe, credible choice whether you're after a first proper deck or a specific team model.

Great service, great communication, super fast shipping!
Great quality product. Liners are amazing. Recommend using beeswax on leather palm to keep it waterproof. Holds up in wet weather
The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!
These Burton base layer pants are the best! Super comfy and a good fit.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
Incredible company, my Burton Swash jacket was exactly as advertised, great website, good post purchase communication and fast postage. Overall, a perfect experience!
Been able to fit them to my new Jones splitboard now that it has arrived. Bindings look great, attachment was easy. Cannot wait to try them out. Just need some new skins!
the comfiest & cutest snow pants ever ! theyre super baggy so size down 1-2 sizes. best worn with some thermals under as they dont provide much warmth.
