SIMS SKATEBOARDS
Tom Sims was my friend and mentor who without his guidance CalStreets would not be standing for over 45 years.
Tom Sims was more than an innovator—he was the living embodiment of stoke, someone who approached every board sport with passion and fearless creativity.
In 1975 Tom sold the first longboards in skateboard history: the SIMS 30”, 36” and 48” models. He immediately followed these up with 40” and 44” longboard offerings. For history buffs, this was 25 years before the modern longboard movement got off the ground.
By the late 70?s Tom was very busy getting snowboarding off the ground, and licensed Sims Skateboards to Brad Dorfman in 1981. At the time we had the #1 team with Brad Bowman, Dave Andrecht, Steve Rocco, Todd Swank, Pierre Andre, Chris Strople, Wally Inouye and a lot of the guys who would become very influential in skateboarding.
