“Surfing’s influence on skateboarding was there from the start because surfers started it and brought that style of carving to it. Skaters are the ones that took it in the air and then pool riders and skaters with ramps really changed it. When Danny Way is doing the Mega Ramp, that’s like riding Jaws or Waimea or some big wave. That’s really heroic. He’s like a big wave rider. Danny Way is gnarly. He’s a big wave skateboarder. I have been skateboarding for 60 years and I love watching the kids skate. From where it’s headed and where it’s come from and how it’s going now with all the bowl riding and skateparks, it’s just like surfing all over. You’ve got all these spots now, but I think they need more spots. Schools need them too. I went to a community meeting here and they were talking about putting in swings and merry-go-rounds and I was like, “Hey, kids don’t want to do that. They’re going to get hurt. Give them a skateboard!” All the adults turned around and looked at me. I was like, “What? Maybe you didn’t skateboard, but the kids today want to  skateboard.” - Herbie Fletcher @JuiceMagazine #75 #skate #surf #style #skateboarding #surfskatestyle #inspiration #fletcherdna @herbiefletcher #skating #barefoot in #1963 on a #homemade #skateboard with #claywheels! #herbiefletcher #surfhistory #skatehistory #beforedogtown #skatingpools #the60s #classic #astrodeck #wavewarriors (at California)

“There is no denying the fact that skaters who also surf, or grew up surfing first, seem to have a very natural and beautiful style. Chris Miller comes to mind, including other rippers like Dylan Rieder. I really miss him! All of the Fletchers: Herbie, Christian, Nathan, Greyson; the Florence Ohana: John John, Nathan, Ivan and mom; Alexandra, Steve Olson, Duane Peters, Keith Meek, Aaron Murray, Scott Oster, Natas Kaupas, Jesse Martinez, Jason Jessee, Chris Senn, Omar Hassan and Mark Partain all do both! Then there are even younger guys like Curren Caples, Evan Mock, Heimana Reynolds and Kalani David. Then you have skateboarders who got into surfing afterwards like Bo Ikeda and Elissa Steamer, including myself. Now even Mark Gonzales is surfing! I’ll always remember taking the Gonz out surfing in Waikiki during the ‘90s and pushing him into a grip of waves and watching him riding towards the shoreline. Priceless moments! And one last thing. Being that I rode for Alva Skates in the ‘80s, whenever peeps ask me about TA, I often tell ‘em that one of the raddest things about Alva was, no matter what you’ve heard about him, TA skated or surfed or did both, every single day! I always thought that was super rad because TA has always been like that ever since his youth. He lives for it and lives it! Some of the raddest humans that I know do both. Give it a try and I bet you’ll understand why they do. All Hail Larry Bertlemann and Buttons Kaluhiokalani!” - Jef Hartsel @JuiceMagazine #75 #skate #surf #style #skateboarding #surfskatestyle #inspiration #jefhartsel #surfskate #familia #fun #AlohaFriday #thefineprint #juicemagazine #surfskatestyleissue #wecomefromthesea #belikewater #backgroundprops #hosoi #dressen #swope @art_is_tree

Congrats to Brad Bowman for being inducted into the 2018 Skateboarding Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be presented by House of @Vans and take place on May 4th at the City National Grove of Anaheim. Get your tix now! @skateboardinghalloffame 🔥🔥🔥 “Surfing influenced skating by giving skaters a more fluid approach to skating, which can have jerky, non-fluid movements at times. Staying low and going fast is also an influence from the bottom turn-top carve surfing. Skating helped surfing by making surfers stronger and more confident in the water. On land, you slam trying new things and it hurts, straight up. Try that same thing in the water and it’s luxury when you fall, unless you hit reef, rocks or the bottom. Skating also put surfing above the lip and brought in moves that were way ahead of what the “norm” was. Some surfers refused to learn this “new, lame” way of surfing. Where are they now? Who cares? Especially not them for bowing out instead of pushing themselves to new limits. That’s what divides the men from the boys.” - Brad Bowman 📸 Jim Goodrich 🔥🔥🔥@JuiceMagazine #75 #skate #surf #style #skateboarding #surfskatestyle #fbf #inspiration

Greyson Fletcher 📸 @juicedan 🏆 “The best surf/skate style...  that would probably be a toss up between Greyson Fletcher, who would be angry at me for thinking he was a surfer, and probably John Florence. They grew up side by side and they skate about the same and they both have a pretty good style. Some people think that John is a surfer, although he skates probably as much as he surfs. Some people think Greyson is a skater, although he surfs as much as he skates.” - Craig Stecyk III - Juice Magazine #75 #skate #surf #style #tbt #skateboarding #inspiration #surfskatestyle #juicemagazine (at California)

Jay Adams - Dog Bowl 1978 📸 @williamsharpimages 🏁🏁🏁 “Surfers were punk before punk rock. That attitude influenced the Dogtown movement and we carried it over into skateboarding.” - Jay Adams - Juice Magazine #75 #skate #surf #style #skateboarding #skatepools #skateboardinghistory #backintheday #sharpskate #canonusa #poolskating #backyardpools #dogtown #zboys #surfskatestyle #juicemagazine #happynewyear #keepitpunk (at California)
