Andalé
Founded by ultra-technical pro skater Joey Brezinski, Andalé Bearings shook up the market by delivering precision bearings engineered to meet the real needs of skateboarders. Backed by a powerhouse team of legends and rising stars (including Daewon Song, Paul Rodriguez, and Torey Pudwill), Andalé has built an ironclad reputation. The brand is renowned for durable bearings, exceptional impact resistance, and innovative design such as integrated systems. From high-performing entry-level options to competition-grade bearings, Andalé offers smoothness, consistent speed, and longevity that make them the top choice for demanding riders upgrading their setup.
Andalé Bearings: a rider-driven obsession with quality
Why launch a new bearing brand when the market seems saturated? Because Joey Brezinski knew most bearings gave out at the worst possible moment. By creating Andalé (which translates to "let's go" or "move it" in Spanish), he wanted to offer a serious alternative: bearings developed by people who spend 12 hours a day on a board. The result? A lineup combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of the real-world stresses a skateboard endures (dust, impacts, moisture).
A technical range for every riding style
Andalé doesn't just sell bearings; the brand delivers tailored solutions suited to your skill level and riding style.
Here is what you'll find in the Andalé selection on our shop:
- Andalé Blue / Reds (The high-performance standard): These are the most versatile models. They offer the ultimate compromise between raw speed and durability. Ideal for street and skatepark, they are built to absorb heavy impacts from stairs and gaps without losing their smooth roll. Check out our skateboard bearings.
- Andalé Swiss (Top-tier speed): For skaters who settle for nothing less than the best. These bearings utilize ultra-high-grade materials and surgical assembly precision to eliminate friction. They deliver instant acceleration and a significantly longer lifespan compared to standard models.
- Andalé Integrated Bearings: A major game-changer. These bearings feature built-in spacers and speed rings directly on the bearing race. The result: fewer loose parts to misplace, perfect wheel alignment, and effortless installation. It's the ultimate technical feature for an ultra-precise setup.
- Protection and maintenance: Removable rubber shields make cleaning simple to extend your bearings' lifespan. Paired with quality speed cream or lubricant, your Andalé bearings will stay fast session after session.
