Here's Jeff Ho, legendary surfboard shaper of Dogtown fame in front of his landmark store that once was the hangout for the Z-boys, the skate team that started skateboarding as we all know it. Jeff Ho opened the historic shop originally in 1973 with Skip Engblom and artist/photographer Craig Stecyk. They are credited with founding the Z-boys and launching the careers of such legends as Tony Alva, Jay Adams and Stacy Peralta to name the most famous of the crew. Here I am standing shoulder to shoulder with the man himself. He is a really nice guy, a nice guy. I must admit though, $50 a pop for an original Zephyr Skate Team shirt is a little steep. I guess in these turbulent economic times everyone is pulling the capitalist card. BTW, thats drummer Teddy Sahr on the right, hangin ten on the blvd. of broken boards.
