Mesa Distribution is a union of skateboard brands headlined by ACE Trucks, Umaverse and Pepper Griptape. Mesa brands are founded by skaters with the intent of offering top tier products matched with impeccable customer support. Mesa aims to push the limits of product technology, while nurturing a community of like-minded creatives and skateboarders. The headquarters are in Los Alamitos, CA along with subsidiaries in Barcelona, Spain and our newest flagship in Curitiba, Brazil.
ACE Trucks was founded by Joey Tershay & Steve “Shrewgy” Ruge in 2007. In pursuit of of the brand’s original intent, ACE released the AF1 in 2021, the strongest and longest lasting cast truck on earth. This would prove to be a pivotal point in the brands evolution, solidifying its place as one of the most demanded trucks in the world. Ace continues to evolve, introducing new innovative products every year, such as the latest conception, Hollow Bolts.
Amidst the height of the pandemic in 2020, one of the wildest rides most of us have taken in our lives, Umaverse was created. Evan Smith brought his spontaneous, creative energy to Mesa where the brand was born and nurtured. Exuding this same feral energy are pro’s Maité, Cody Chapman & Roman Pabich. As the team continues to expand across the globe, Evan continues leads the charge on a global jaunt, spreading the Uma vibes of inclusivity and positivity, welcoming all to join in along the way.
