Surfers, but about what they have passionately soughtsomething to surf when the waves of the ocean is not cooperating and were not conducive to optimum conditions for surfing. And although it almost impossible to build a name or a face to who were the first skateboards, skateboards beginning probably no more complicated - or were just as easy (depending on how you want to look at it) - such as wooden planks with roller skate wheels attached to the underside.

These primitive skateboards, which were made of the boundaries themselves werethan likely, in heavy use until the 1960s, started as the first skateboard manufacturer, to establish themselves. From there, skateboarding - or "sidewalk surfing" as it was called began to play (back to its origins surfing), explode in popularity.
