 <\/p>\n
When did you first hear of SurfSkate style?<\/strong><\/p>\n
From the start, skating came from surfing. Skaters emulated surfing as they skated doing the same tricks: roller coasters, cutbacks, soul arches and laybacks.<\/p>\n
What does SurfSkate style mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
A surf style is smooth, relaxed, in control. You flowed across the banks or pool, not jerky or stiff.<\/p>\n
Who has the best SurfSkate style?<\/strong><\/p>\n
The guys I skated with Jay, TA, Shogo and Biniak all had a full on flow. I remember being in the bowl watching them riding pools just thinking, if that was a wave, it would be a Surfer cover shot!<\/p>\n
How has surfing influenced skateboarding and how has skateboarding influenced surfing?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Skateboarding came from surfing, so that is skating\u2019s roots, and then surfing picked up skate tricks like airs in the early \u201880s, from guys that skated and surfed, and it continues today.<\/p>\n
Is SurfSkate style important today?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Yes, it is and I think it\u2019s proven it works over the years. As styles change, surf style is still there.<\/p>\n
