What’s particularly cool about your board is that the graphic doesn’t say “Skateboard” at all-it says Sidewalk Surfer. That strongly suggests it dates from the very earliest commercial era, before the industry had fully standardized the name. The phrase itself was so iconic that in 1965 the documentary-style skateboarding film. Was originally released under the title “Sidewalk Surfer” in some markets, and skateboarding magazines routinely referred to riders as sidewalk surfers.
