Skateboarding, as we know it today, was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s in California. While there isn't a single inventor of skateboarding, it evolved from surf culture and the desire to "surf" on land when waves were not available. Early pioneers of skateboarding include surfers like Larry Stevenson, who created the first commercial skateboard, and the Zephyr surf team, known as the Z-Boys, who revolutionized skateboarding in the 1970s with their aggressive and innovative style.
There is no recognized inventor of skateboarding, which began as early as the 1930's. Retail skateboards were first marketed in 1958 by Bill and Mark Richard of Dana Point, California.
Surfers in California invented skate boards.When the didn't have enough waves to surf in they made a wooden box on wheels,they called it "Surfing on the sidewalk'.
