Skateboarding was invented by surfers when the water got to cold to surf. Originally, the surfers put wheels on their surfboards. Later, it took trend and people started making their own versions of a skateboard. ----http://skateboard.about.com/cs/boardscience/a/brief_history.htm
skateboarding originated in the 1950's and 60's by surfers who couldn't surf when the waves were bad. In the early days skateboarding was called 'sidewald surfing'.
It started in California when a bunch of surfers wanted to create something to ride when the waves were flat.
well skateboarding originated from surfing which is why they where originally called sidewalk surfers. So if anything, skateboarding is a sub-culture of the Californian surfing "idea"
Californian Surfers Wanted to still "surf" While the waves were low. They started with a piece of wood and metal wheels, and then became more advanced, until now. THis started sometime in the 1950's!!
It was discovered in the 1950s when californian surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets.
it was beilieved that surfers such as tony alva and stacey perleta created skateboarding in the winter when it was to tough to surf so they would surf the streets!
Voodoo 13...As it't commonly known.. skateboarding was an invention as a result of surfers still wanting to surf when the waves weren't big enough to ride..
Nobody invented skateboarding as far as i know. I did a report on skateboarding for school and all i came up with is that a bunch of surfers put roller skates onto two-by-fours and called it Sidewalk Surfing around the 1960's.
