Deandre “Lil Dre” Thebpanya is officially pro for Girl Skateboards—and honestly, it feels like we can all collectively just say, “Yeah, that checks out.”

Dre has been on an absolute tear the past few years, stacking clips in random (ripping) edits, popping up in homie videos, holding it down in adidas projects—the list goes on. And everything he does seems to rightfully standout.

Him turning pro for Girl certainly wasn’t a surprise announcement. This one was long overdue. And this fun clip below is all the proof you need. Oh, and just FYI...the dude can fakie front crook anything.

He fits right in with the Girl camp, too, and even brings a fresh new layer of flavor to the brand, if you ask me. The dude is powerful, stylish and unarguably deserves his name on the bottom of a board. And to turn pro for such an iconic brand like Girl? That's major. Yeah, Dre!

Let me just throw this out there—does this dude have the best switch flip in the game? I'm down to argue if you are, because I think he might.

Anyways, Lil Dre's debut pro model graphics are blessing skateshop board walls as we speak, and both of them are so rad. It's 2025 and the brand continues to deliver and make moves. So rad.

It’s always exciting when someone gets the nod at the perfect moment—when the skating, the momentum, and the general stoke simply all align. This is one of those moments. Huge congrats to Dre for the promotion! And shoutout Girl for making it happen. Buy his board!
