📖Story

Set in 1970s Venice and Santa Monica, this dramatized origin of modern skateboarding follows the iconic Z Boys—Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta—who transform skateboarding into a cultural phenomenon. Under the tutelage of Skip at Zephyr Surf Shop, they push athletic limits, invent new moves, and bring "vertical" skateboarding into the mainstream.
