Adrian Paynel

Bio

Adrien Paynel is a Franco-American downhill skateboarder born and raised in San Diego, California, with local stomping grounds up and down the Southern West Coast. After learning about the marriage of skateboards and gravity around 14 years old, Adrien has been honing his skill ever since. Raised in the outlaw scene of California, Adrien fell in love with going fast and racing on his local hills. In 2017, he attended his first sanctioned race, and in 2019, he competed in his first European Tour. In 2022, he fully pursued the World Tour. In 2024, he battled for the title until the last corner but was unable to get the result. In 2025, he had a dominant season that earned him the title of World Champion. Produkte is stoked to be on board with Adrien, showing off the design of Produkte and the beauty of downhill skateboarding, a match made in heaven.
