Real.

The first one.

Real was started in the second half of 1990 by Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud. It was backed by Deluxe, who at the time were making Thunder Trucks and Spitfire Wheels. They were also making bushings and hardware, but those were more minor projects. The initial riders were Tony Henry, Henry Sanchez, Salman Agah, and Rob "Sluggo" Boyce. I assume a few other guys were getting Real boards and I know I forgot a couple heads, too. The company has been a steady force in skateboarding for the last 30 years and has always stayed relevant, even with the fickle nature of skateboarders. Cheers to many more years.
