Makaha Skateboards Rides Again

Friday July 1, 2005
If you saw the Dogtown and Z-Boys documentary or the Lords of Dogtown movie, you might remeber the name Makaha. Makaha was started in 1962 by Larry Stevenson. He came out with the first commercial skateboard with clay wheels, had the first freestyle skateboarding team, and the first skateboarding competition. Makaha has now re-launched with classic designs - this is older than old school, these are reproductions of the first skateboards. Check out Makaha and see what you think.
