Kushineta Skateboard Manufacturing was established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2019 by a group of young dedicated skateboarders. (Yeabkal Abreham, Ruel Desta, Henok Yetbarek, and Yared Gobezie)
Our vision is to produce boards, streetwear and teach skateboarding to the youth across Ethiopia and abroad. This is the only way we can spread skateboarding across the continent.
The skateboard scene in Africa is rapidly growing, and Ethiopia already has a relatively large skate scene, we saw the opportunity to produce and one day distribute skateboards and streetwear to the rapidly growing and young African market.
On Jan 1, 2022 we opened up Ethiopia's first skateshop, a big achievement for the growing skate scene in the country.
We focus on the top quality when it comes to our garments and printing techniques. Our designs also are a collection of works from within our community.
