As Issued will host the book release and exhibition of “Surf to Skate – Evolution to Revolution”. Presented by Scavenger, a duo of vintage skateboard collectors, Stanton Hartsfield and Jason Cohn will feature over 75 rare skateboards from their private collections from the 1950’s to 1960’s. Scavenger’s effort is to retrace the early roots and history of skateboarding, from the wood shop boards cobbled together by young adolescents digging through their father’s toolboxes to the mass produced boards sold through department stores.
The limited edition self-published 152 page, 19”x4.5” coffee table book was fully printed and produced in the USA and designed to resemble a skateboard from the 1950’s. This is the most comprehensive book on the subject matter to date.
