Of the generation whereby they were marketing these as a cheaper/easier means to learning how to surf aka “sidewalk surfing”; Made all the clearer by the fact that this model is literally “Surfer” in a beautiful, cursive, red font. A piece of americana and a key moment in time for the evolution of the american skateboard! Imagine riding down a steep california hill riding these METAL wheels! 21″ L x 5.25″ W. Overall nice condition, with a very bright, vibrant, cursive red logo. Please note the faint scuff to the original shellac just above the “UR” in surfer. This skateboard was made in Jacksonville Illinois. However, before skateboards there were scooters, sometimes known as kick scooters and push scooters. Varied forms of scooters have been traced back to the early 1900s, most of them made from wood, metal, or a combination of the two. Scooters had anywhere from two to four wheels. Some of the wheels were metal and others were similar to the wheels on pedal cars. In the 1940s and 1950s, crate scooters made popular sidewalk vehicles. Most crate scooters were handmade. They were relatively inexpensive and simple for kids to construct by using a milk crate or wooden fruit box and metal roller skate wheels attached to a wooden 2 x 4. Eventually kids started removing the boxes and handlebars and just started riding the board with wheels, reminiscent of the famous skateboard scene in the 1985 film Back to the Future. By the early 1960s, skateboarding started luring participants from the surfer scene. In 1962 a southern California surf shop, Val Surf, began making its own brand of skateboards and struck a deal with Chicago Roller Skate Company for the wheels. The skateboards began to attract everyday surfers who could use the boards when they weren’t in the water, and thus the term “sidewalk surfer” was coined. Additionally, skateboarding gained popularity when Larry Stevenson, publisher of Surf Guide, promoted it in his monthly magazine. In 1963, Stevenson made the first professional skateboards using the Makaha brand and organized the first known skateboarding contest. That same year saw an evolution in skateboard design with the use of clay (also known as composite) wheels that replaced treacherous metal ones. Moving ahead, in 1964 surf and sailing entrepreneur Hobart “Hobie” Alter joined forces with Vita-Pakt company to make a line of Hobie skateboards; the Hobie line also sponsored several contests and professional skaters. Later that summer, the musical group Jan and Dean performed “Sidewalk Surfin” on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, an event which helped further popularize skateboarding with mainstream society. In 1965, the skateboarding sport peaked as manufacturers tried to keep up with the demand, cranking out an estimated 50 million skateboards between 1963 and 1965. In May, the world’s first skatepark, Surf City in Tucson, Arizona opened to the public..

One of the very first! Circa 1960 – somethin. A rare, special, piece of Americana! Small at 18.75″ Long x 4.75″ W. Coined as a way to learn how to surf better…. Or in this case Sidewalk Surfing. Just enough use and patina to give her that street creed. Hedlund Skateboards were produced by the Hedlund Manufacturing Company, founded in 1949 by Swan Hedlund in Nokomis, Illinois. Initially specializing in snow skis, the company expanded into skateboard production during the 1960s, a period when skateboarding was gaining popularity in the United States. One of their notable skateboard lines was the “Roller Surfer” series, which included models such as the #100, #200, and #500. The Roller Surfer #100, for instance, measured 4.4 inches in width and 18.9 inches in length. The #500 models featured variations in design, including differences in tail shape and truck mounting configurations. Some of these boards bore graphics depicting a skier silhouette beneath the Hedlund logo, reflecting the company’s roots in ski manufacturing.
