If you’ve been following Welcome over the years, Ryan Townley has been one of those riders who always felt like part of the foundation. Not flashy, not chasing hype — just consistently putting in clips and holding it down for the brand’s identity.
Now that chapter is officially closed.
Welcome Skateboards made it public with a farewell post, writing:
“Where did the time go?! Farewell Ryan Townley, thank you for 10 years. Goodluck on your future plans, we love you ❤️ 🫂”
Townley responded in the comments:
“Love you all! Thank you so much for everything & all the special memories together ♥️🫂”
No drama, no weird energy — just a clean split after a decade.
The next clips are already telling a story
About a month after leaving Welcome, Townley started posting new clips — and about a week ago, the board under his feet changed.
He’s now been seen riding Enjoi decks across multiple recent Instagram clips.
There’s no official announcement tying him to the brand yet, but as always, what you’re skating tends to speak for itself.
A key part of Welcome’s most distinct era
Townley’s run with Welcome lines up with the brand’s most recognizable stretch — the shaped boards, the unconventional graphics, and a team that didn’t feel like anything else at the time.
He wasn’t just along for that era, he helped define it.
Ten years with one brand is rare now, and when someone like Townley steps away, it’s more than just a name leaving a roster. It marks a shift in what that brand looked like at its core.
A new chapter already in motion
Right now, the facts are simple — Townley is no longer on Welcome, and he’s currently skating Enjoi boards in his latest clips.
Whether that turns into something official remains to be seen, but the transition is already happening in real time.
Does Townley feel like a good fit for Enjoi?
If not, where do you want to see him land officially?
