Most everyone that gets sponsored by Santa Cruz Skateboards, the team manager sees in person or is brought to our attention through a current rider or shop team. What Santa Cruz looks for is solid & consistent skateboarding, unique style and a positive attitude.
If you would like to send in a sponsor me video you are encouraged to do so. Make it NO more then 2 minutes of your very best skating. Send it to the address below (Attn: Sponsor Me) or post it on youtube.com and email us the link at contact@nhs-inc.com. We receive a lot of videos so don’t get discouraged if you are not contacted. Just keep skating hard and progressing.

Email the Santa Cruz Skateboards home base at scskatesales@nhs-inc.com and they will get you a dealer application and start the process.
The very best place to go is your local skate shop. If you see something you like online and your local shop doesnt have exactly what you want, they can usually special order it for you if it's still available and they are already an Authorized Santa Cruz dealer. Please understand that due to high demand, limited edition run products and/or discontinued product, not everything you see online is Available for the shop to special order but the shop can always call us and at least ask. Also, check our current buy page for online shops that might have what you're looking for.
If you would like some Free Stickers, you need to send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to the address above. We will send you Free Stickers but you must pay your own postage. We will not fill requests via email.

We do all of the art for Santa Cruz Skateboards products in house and we do not contract any work out. We have a team of artists and graphic designers that work directly with the managers and team riders. If you are interested in working full time for Santa Cruz, please send a resume and examples of your work on CD to the address above. Due to the large number of applicants we get, we do not return resumes or CDs and we will not contact applicants unless we are interested in hiring.
We would like to know about any possible defect in our products and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Send an email to our warranty department at scskatewarranty@nhs-inc.com.
We are currently not accepting submissions from outside inventors. Due to a dramatic increase in the rate of submissions, we are freezing any submissions for the time being. Santa Cruz has not made a regular convention of accepting submissions from outside inventors, and to my knowledge we’ve only done this 3 times in 30 years. Thank you for your interest and consideration, however. – Tim Piumarta
