Tom Penny Skateboard Setup (2026)

Tom Penny is a British professional skateboarder from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, born April 13, 1977, who grew up skateboarding in Oxford with a small group of friends and no access to skate shops or magazines. He turned pro at 16, won the 1995 Radlands UK Championships, then relocated to California with Flip. His footage throughout the mid to late 1990s was marked by an effortless, unhurried style on switch tricks and handrails that influenced a generation of skaters including Paul Rodriguez and Andrew Reynolds. He disappeared from the American skate scene after the late 1990s and became a semi-mythical figure, resurfacing in Flip's Sorry trilogy from 2002 onwards. Transworld named him the 21st most influential skateboarder of all time in 2011. He was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2023.
