SkateBoarder magazine covers
SkateBoarder magazine premiered in 1964 with only four issues released that year and the next.
Publication started again in the summer of 1975, then continuously up through July 1980
,
which was the final issue of SkateBoarder magazine. Skateboarding as a fad started dying
in late 1979. In order to survive, the Surfer Publishing Group changed the magazine to
Action Now to appeal to a wider sports market. Action Now ceased publishing in 1982.


Except for the 1964 and 1965 issues, these covers were scanned from my personal collection.
