ABOUT ALVA:

Tony Alva, born in 1957 in Santa Monica, California is considered to be one of the very first skateboarders and it seems that he was even at the origin of the creation of the very first skateboards.

Like many Californians Tony Alva practiced surfing. When the waves weren't there, instead of being bored, Alva had the idea of ​​fixing trucks and roller skate wheels under a wooden board in order to find the sensations of surfing in the streets.

In 1972, he joined the collective of skateboarders "Zephyr Boys", all surfers, with Jay Adams and Stacy Peralta. The "Z-Boys" had the idea of ​​practicing skateboarding in the empty swimming pools (pools / bowls) of the region and Tony Alva was the first to execute tricks that paved the way for many tricks that are today still part of the discipline.
