SkateBoarder’s Raiders of the Archives goes to Nick Halkias’ Skateboard Museum

A cool idea that needs some funding.

“Work in skateboarding is an educational video website that shows the diversity of jobs in skateboarding, their accessibility and how similar roles can apply to other sport industries.

It’s going to be a resource for kids who are beginning to plan their career paths and are unaware of all the different job options within skateboarding.

The main goal of the website is to invest in the next generation of skateboarding, nurturing their growth and creativity and supplying them with information they can use to become a part of the industry.”

Ben Watts collaborated on a set of skate decks with denim brand 3×1′s Scott Morrison, and models Elsa Hosk, Chanel Iman, Behati Prinsloo, Lake Bell, and Jessica Hart. All proceeds go to the models chosen charities, so there’s no worry of guilt about putting a picture of a pretty girl up on your wall that’s not your girlfriend.

Larry Stevenson, founder of Makaha surfboards, and creator of the kicktail and nosetail died at the age of 81 this past Sunday.

From an interview by  Seb Carayol on ESPN:

“Me and Todd Hastings went to Amsterdam, not on a tour. We just took a break and we went to the Bulldog Coffee Shop. I looked up and saw their logo. I asked, ‘What do you think about that for the graphic, Todd?’ He liked the idea. So I told Powell to do a bulldog. It’s a pretty close rendition of the one in Amsterdam.”
