San Leandro, CA – Skate Industry News: Nicole Hause Is Pro For Real Skateboards

Nicole Hause, born September 30, 1997, is a goofy-footed American skateboarder. Growing up in Stillwater, Minnesota as a young skater, Hause used to ride the metro to get to the “Girls Skate Free” night at 3rd Lair Skatepark in Golden Valley.

Hause began competing in 2013, making her debut at the 2016 Summer X Games.  In 2017, Hause claimed the 2017 Vert Attack Woman’s Champion title, placing first ahead of Kisa Nakamura & Allysha Le. In 2018, she repeated her first-place finish at Vert Attack, finishing ahead of Arianna Carmona & Allysha Le.

Hause was also among the 16 members of the inaugural U.S.A Skateboarding National Team announced in March, 2019. “I loved skateboarding,” said Hause. “But I didn’t really want to compete but I didn’t really know there were other options in a way, for women. For guys, you didn’t have to compete to be a pro skateboarder but for women there was kind of only one pathway so I was kind of on that pathway.” The delay of the Olympics due to the pandemic changed her trajectory. Despite making the team, she decided not to compete in 2021 in Tokyo.

She’s spent the last year-and-a-half filming a video part and her hard work has paid off. Earlier this month, REAL Skateboards officially named Nicole Hause its first female a pro skateboarder. “It’s pretty surreal,” said Hause. “There are definitely different levels of professional skateboarding it’s like pro contests, are you getting paid, and then having your name on the bottom of a skateboard is the ultimate pro. I’m just so happy to have made it here, it’s crazy.”

The company released two pro model boards with Hause’s name. Make sure you ask your local for her new deck!!
