Girl Distribution Company

The Girl Distribution Company is a skateboarding distribution company based in Torrance, California, which houses several companies including Girl Skateboards, Chocolate Skateboards, Royal Skateboard Trucks, Fourstar Clothing, Ruby Clothing, Skate Mental, The Art Dump and "Lakai Limited Footwear".

The company has evolved into a distribution company that distributes skate goods, and makes shirts, hats, skateboard wheels, hoodies, trousers, bearings, belts, wallets, skateboarding films and many other accessories. Their logo is similar to the symbol on women's bathrooms.

Although the companies under the Girl Distribution Company appear as separate teams, the companies appear in each other's videos, (e.g. Chocolate Skateboards in Yeah Right!), riders have been seen using other companies' boards, and teams often tour together or fourstar.
