Santa Monica Airlines (SMA), a name synonymous with the vibrant surf and skate culture of Santa Monica, traces its roots back to 1978. It all began in the unassuming space of Zephyr's surf shop, a locale that would soon become a pivotal point in the skateboarding world. SMA emerged during a time when skateboarding was evolving, capturing the spirit and energy of the coastal city.
The early history of SMA is particularly notable for the craftsmanship of Skip Engblom. Engblom wasn't just assembling skateboards; he was creating them with a passion and precision that bespoke his dedication to the sport and its culture. Each board was shaped and made by hand, ensuring that every piece was not just a tool for skateboarding but a work of art, embodying the soul of Santa Monica's skate scene.
These handcrafted boards quickly became more than just sporting equipment; they were symbols of a burgeoning skate culture, representing a blend of skill, art, and the free-spirited nature of the era. The legacy of SMA and the unique contribution of Skip Engblom's craftsmanship have endured over the years, leading to the reissues of these iconic boards.
