The skateboarding world is welcoming a bold new chapter with the launch of Glass House Skateboards, a brand introduced by Ben Horton, known for his role in the now-quiet $lave Skateboards. This new venture is already turning heads, not just for its roots in the iconic $lave lineage, but also for its strong initial team lineup and early momentum.
In recent months, fans of $lave Skateboards noticed a series of cryptic posts on the brand’s Instagram page—messages like “the beginning of the end” alongside archival footage. These hints sparked speculation about the brand’s future. That uncertainty has now been resolved with the debut of Glass House, which is positioning itself as a spiritual successor to $lave while carving out its own identity.
The team behind Glass House is a mix of core $lave alumni and notable additions. Riders include TJ Person, Zack Wallin, Logan Taylor, Cody Jacobson, Pat Burke, Anthony Schultz, Danny Dicola, and AJ Zavala. The brand has already released a promo video, giving fans a taste of its energy and direction.
One standout addition is Zack Wallin, whose presence has excited longtime skateboarding enthusiasts. Wallin, known for his powerful and technical style, had been without a stable brand home in recent years. His inclusion in the Glass House roster signals a strong commitment to both legacy and progression.
The official announcement was made via Instagram, where the skateboarding community has responded with overwhelming support. Many fans see Glass House as a continuation of $lave’s independent, no-compromise approach—a tradition expected to thrive under the new banner.
As the skateboarding landscape continues to evolve, Glass House Skateboards arrives with both heritage and vision, promising to uphold the ethos of its predecessor while building something new.
