Legendary Pro Skateboarder and Brand Builder Andy Howell Introduces Ghost Ship Supply Representing the Authentic Hybrid Culture of Skateboarding, Surfing, Fishing, and Art on the Real Outer Banks
July 14, 2023 – OUTER BANKS, North Carolina – Legendary pro skateboarder and youth culture innovator Andy Howell introduces Ghost Ship Supply, a pioneering skateboarding, surfing, and fishing lifestyle brand that embodies the hybrid culture and mysterious allure of the Outer Banks.
Drawing on his rich history of innovation, including pioneering skateboard, apparel, and technology companies, Howell’s Ghost Ship Supply is the first action sports lifestyle brand to offer its own high performance fishing rods, skateboards and surfboards alongside hybrid apparel, original art, and accessories in its limited-edition product line. Ghost Ship’s fishing rods combine high performance components primarily configured for inshore and surf fishing with the graphic aesthetics of skateboarding and surfing, representing a multi-disciplined lifestyle endemic to the Outer Banks. The brand’s limited edition cut-n-sew jackets and hybrid shorts are made for a combination of surfing, skateboarding, and fishing to complement the brand’s limited-edition skateboards, surfboards, fishing rods and apparel. http://ghostship.supply
A culmination of his professional experiences and personal passions, Andy Howell’s latest brand embodies the naturally hybrid culture found on the Outer Banks, an island chain where Wild horses still roam the northern beaches and where a rich mysterious history dates back hundreds of years, from the landing of the first European colonists to the pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard, who lured sailing ships to their demise on the treacherous, shifting sandbars just offshore. Called the Graveyard of the Atlantic, the Outer Banks has claimed more than 5,000 ships, its unpredictable storms and shifting sandbars still beaching or destroying vessels each year. Ghost Ship Supply meshes these rich historic local themes with a multi-disciplined lifestyle of surfing, skating, fishing, and art, all part of the thriving culture found on the Outer Banks. To that end Ghost Ship has assembled like-minded local and international pro skaters, surfers, fishermen and artists, “The Ghost Ship Crew,” and built a roving mobile pop-up retail store, “The Ghost Ship,” which travel together to key events and can be tracked on the brand’s social media @ghostshiup.supply and by signing up for text alerts.
With Ghost Ship Supply, Howell combines his experience as professional skateboarder and artist, as well as successful company founder, with his other lifelong passions for surfing and fishing that all dovetail perfectly into daily life on the Outer Banks. In fact, the Outer Banks are in Howell’s entrepreneurial DNA, as his first major experiences in fishing, surfing and skateboarding all took place on the Outer Banks during his childhood, including his first visit to a skateboard park, the first time he stood up on a surfboard, and the first fish he caught in the surf. Designed on the Outer Banks, Ghost Ship embodies the one-of-a-kind vibe of this unique region, a haven of local skateboarders, surfers, fishermen, and artists. drawn in by its mysterious allure.
Equal parts mystery, history, and creativity, the skateboarding, surfing, and fishing brand Ghost Ship Supply embodies the authentic spirit of the Outer Banks through pioneering hybrid product collections designed for high performance and aesthetics at the convergence of skateboarding, surfing, fishing and art. http://ghostship.supply
