Shorty's Skateboards is a skateboard company founded by Tony Buyalos. It was originally started as a hardware company making bolts for skateboards. As time went on they started expanding and making other products, such as Black Magic Griptape, Quickies and Black Panther Bearings, Doh Doh Bushings, Dooks Riser Pads, Shorty's Clothing, and eventually professional skateboard decks. They also produced snowboards for a short time in the late 1990's. In 2006 they dropped their professional skateboard team, although they still have an extensive hardware team.
In the earlier days of the company they were know for their suggestive ads featuring naked women, racy drawings, and a some what infamous ad in Big Brother Magazine featuring a plastic vagina. They also had many ads featuring a model named Rosa.
