Stanton Hartsfield and Jason Cohn, the authors of the book Surf To Skate, installed an exhibit “Skate Garage” at Surfing Heritage Foundation. Skate Garage features more than 100 vintage old school skateboards from the 1950s and 60s with logos and designs that are driven by innocence and fueled by customization.
As part of the exhibit, we’re screening an edited version of the first major skateboard film, “Skater Dater,” an American short film written and directed by Noel Black in 1965. It won the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Short Subject category.
The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, January 12 and be on public view through Saturday, February 2, 2013.
Stanton and Jason will be on hand to sign their book on Saturday, January 12 from 2 – 5 p.m. Primo Beer will be available for those 21 and older. You can also buy the book through our website, SHF.
