Hand crafted by Kent Sherwood in 1976, Kent\u2019s mission was to make a board that could keep up with the intense skating of his step-son, Jay Adams. As Aaron Scott puts it, \u201cwith Kent\u2019s background in fiberglass, they were hoping this would actually last Jay Adams\u2019 skating\u201d. Kent worked tirelessly on perfecting a board that would pioneer an industry to come.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing the surf to the streets, the original Z-Flex boards tell a story of a time when skateboarding was just coming on the scene and skaters were pushing the limits in the way they skated as much as they were in the products they skated.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Scott, Mitch Kaufman, George Wilson, Jim Davey, Wentzel Ruml, Dave Hackett, Duane Peters, Marty Grimes, Jimmy Plumer and Tony Alva join Jay Adams to reminisce the original Z-Flex boards and tell the story of where it all began.<\/p>\n<p>To accompany the mini-series, Z-Flex has created the ZVP category and re-issued the iconic fiberglass boards, first made by Kent Sherwood in the 1970\u2019s. The re-issue boards include four models: The Original, Jay Adams, Warptail, and Jimmy Plumer. Each board comes in a numbered collectors display box with an authentic Z-Flex bandana and commemorative booklet. Only 300 units of each model will be made and sold worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was my weapon of choice at the time. Pound for pound it was just a really killer board.\u201d- Marty Grimes<\/p>\n<p>To watch all episodes of the ZVP series, and to get your limited edition re-issue board, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zflex.com\/zvp\">www.zflex.com\/zvp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZVP &#8211; Episode 2 &#8211; The Original from Z-Flex Skateboards on Vimeo.
