It’s been awhile since I did any skateboarding and amazingly enough it’s one of the things that my son never really got into. When I was younger I hung out with a few skate punks that would die to have really nice equipment like Skate & Surf carries. They have the complete line of decks and accessories for Element Skateboards as well as Zero Skateboards too.

Of course when I was younger you were much more limited to the different brands and skateboarding was not nearly as widely accepted as a sport as it is now. Even the wife will sit down and watch some of the skateboarding exhibitions that come on the sports channels now.

Surfboard Warehouse

The Surfboard Warehouse is an Orlando company that was founded to cater to the custom surfboard market. The maker of about 90% of foam blanks used in custom surfboards used to be a company named Clarke Foam. The closed for business in 2005, which seriously hurt the custom surfboard business.
