"So few people, including skateboarders, really have any idea of what it takes to make something as simple as a skateboard or even a single urethane wheel. George Powell is one of the very few skateboard builders in the world today who still manufactures many of his products in America under one roof just as he has always done, and so I was inspired to make this short film on him and his company, Skate One, and to share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy, and look forward to your comments." - Stacy Peralta www.skateone.com

@powell_peralta is putting out a massive book in 2015 chronicling their long history in skateboarding. I shot this portrait of George Powell at their Goleta HQ in 2011. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, saw the skeleton and well, Duh!

When skateboarding became popular in the 1960s, my wife and I saved up our Blue Chip stamp books to acquire two Hobie Super Surfers, which we rode around the inner quadrangle at Stanford during the evening hours when no one was there to complain.
