Gareth Stehr.



New Zealand Vampire.

Gareth is from Auckland, New Zealand. He worked construction and delivered pizzas to earn money to move out to California for skateboarding. Foundation turned him pro and released a US tour video called Gareth Stehr's Go-Go Toe Jam. It's a fun romp across the states full of demo stops at skateparks from 2006. Gareth does some serious ripping in the video, along with the rest of the F-Troop. He's into pirates and vampires.

To clarify things about the history of Dekline, Tod Swank handled the distribution of the shoes. The kicks were designed by August Benzien and Kevin Furtado. Both worked at Duffs previously. August is presently a designer for Nike and Kevin runs State Footwear.
