I originally thought of making a board brand in 2019, but sat on the impulse instead and played around with different brand concepts over the years. 2024 comes around and Jacob and I have been skating on a team together for a few years at the time but were soon to be free agents, and so I decided to go ahead and do what I've been really wanting to do. Then in July, 2024, I thought of the name "HALFCHILD" and made a dedicated folder in my hard drive and went to work. I reached out to Jacob and told him about the idea, and of course he was on-board. Hit up the Chiang Mai connection, Kanchanon, got him on, and the founding team was assembled. I made the first logos and artwork in November, made sample stickers, found a cheap VX2000 on Shopee, bought a Kapkur fisheye, a pack of 5 MiniDV tapes, and we began filming for the video. Since then its been 6 months of filming for the video, sampling and making boards and t-shirts, and also working my day job. Then on May 17th, 2025, we launched the brand and premiered our video "Hello World" at Tightland Skate Shop to an overwhelmingly supportive crowd. This is just the beginning. To all the halfchildren; WE SEE YOU.
