Skateboards

Believed to have started in the late 1940's or early 1950's when surfers in California wanted something to surf when the waves were flat, skateboarding has gone on to be one of the most popular activities, sports, mode of transportation, lifestyle and cultural influences to this very day. 



The first skateboards were simply wooden boxes or boards with wheels attached to the bottom. The boxes turned into planks, and eventually companies were producing decks of pressed layers of wood -- similar to the skateboard decks of today. But man have they got better since then!
