RYOT X CHOCOLATE

Collaborations do not have to be exclusively for glass artists and fashion-centric brand-on-brand endeavors. For the more experimentally daring, the partnership between Chocolate Skateboards and RYOT infuses two legendary brands to not only support their culture, but to also bring to you an exclusive limited capsule.  

Since 2000, RYOT has elevated the smoking experience with pioneering, innovative and high-quality products. Partnering with Chocolate Skateboards and pro skater Yonnie Cruz is as smooth an idea as dropping in on an empty swimming pool. 

The counterculture collab includes RYOT X Chocolate apparel and limited edition Kannastor herb grinder, one-hitter dugout, and rolling tray. Additionally, the Paper Baggy Rolling Utility Kit by RYOT will be included with all RYOT X Chocolate Skateboards.  

Dan Talbot, co-founder of RYOT, says that teaming with Chocolate Skateboards not only brings more awareness to the brands, but also helps some of the world’s most talented riders chase their dreams. 

“We’re both extremely committed to our craft and the communities we serve, but we also put a major emphasis on fun and creativity” Talbot says. “Bringing two crossover industries into the mainstream also allows us to continue the battle showing acceptance in the cannabis space while reducing the stigma that surrounds it.”
