Ripndip is a brand you shouldnt support, the owner abused his girlfriend.

Shred that board until you either snap it or just want a new one, but i wouldnt recommend getting a Ripndip next time :)

Buying this board i didn’t know that, but i was always someone who believed you can separate the art from the artist. in my opinion me wearing ripndip and purchasing their products doesn’t mean i support abuse in any way. thanks for the heads up but why would i throw away something i just got and waste the money i spent on it.

Not gonna get into a big debate but buying a product from someone who beat his girlfriend and screwed over a bunch of friends by making all the profit off their ideas is literally supporting those things as he is paying his rent and eating and continuing his business because people buy his product, just don't be surprised if you get nasty looks, someone calls you a poser, or walks up and focus's your board and walks away without saying anything. I thought I'd seen it all till I saw just this and the entire park just started clapping. I'm saying all this for your benefit not to virtue signal.

haha yh and I get what your saying for sure, I just think some of their stuff looks pretty cool, but like you say a lot of it all does look the same. And I'm totally with you on the fact that I wouldn't wanna support a brand owned by a guy who beats his wife, that's so fucked up. anyway, I don't know really anything about that situation apart from people saying he beats his wife so yh

Ripndip stuff is fire, but i prefer the old ripndip. Now its just become a hypebeast wannabe brand imo
