Irie One Skateboard and Apparel is owned and operated by one of Barbados’ renown riders.  The brand was born out of his love for skateboarding but now is revered as one of the most “irie” brands in all sense of the words. 

Irie One Skateboard and Apparel started out as a skate shop which opened its doors to the public in 2007. With the desperate need for better skate equipment, Paul 'Irie' Wilson decided to open a skateshop to cater to the needs of the new skateboarding community of Barbados. The store lasted for 2-3 years before changing over to an apparel and board brand after being hurt by the economic trials going on in the world. That didn't stop them from evolving into something greater.

Shortly after closing the store, they created a skate team in hopes of pushing the Irie One brand, team and lifestyle as well as creating a new era in the Caribbean skate scene. The team has been on a few summer tours on 3 different occasions to film, promote and explore what the internation scene has to offer. Paul has taken Irie One team to the Element camp in California, to Delaware, Philly, NY, Washington, Pennsylvania, Wilmington and Montreal. 

Everyone that knows Paul knows he is a true champion of helping the sport of skateboarding prosper. In 2010, along with friends, Paul was involved in the creation of the F-Spot; a local underground DIY skate spot. Since then, Paul plays a vital role in the progression and maintenance of the spot. Not only with skateboarding, he also spearheaded the creation of the Barbados Bodyboarding Association in 2003 and held the position of president for a few years. He is truly passionate about everything he is involved in. 

The Irie One Skateboard and Apparel brand now brings the “iriest” line of tees in the business while staying true to its cultural and progressive style. Look out for the local and unique products. 

A quote from the Irie man himself:

"Some people call me the mouth of the skate scene here in Barbados and that’s ok to me, but all I’m doing is trying to look out for the needs of the kids and provide a safe place for them to skate and keep the vibe of skatebording alive.", Paul “Irie” Wilson.
