Cory Kennedy turned pro in 2011 for Girl Skateboards and here is his first pro model. Simple and effective art done by Andy Jenkins, former senior art director at Girl and Chocolate Skateboards. The skaters who turn pro for Girl usually get this graphics as their first board model, alongside another more personal one. Girl set up a special suprise at the North Hollywood skatepark, California, to turn Cory pro. All the kids at the park had been given this new pro model to ride it but the skater itself, still amateur, didn’t know he was going pro until he figured out… You can watch the video of the event here. Many Girl and Chocolate decks released in 2011 had the “#prettysweet” top graphic, to promote the Pretty Sweet film that came out a year later in 2012.
