Discover the community-driven spirit that has propelled the sport far beyond its Californian origins.
Welcome to the thrilling world of 2020s indie skate culture—its people, communities, brands, and eclectic local scenes. With profiles, interviews, and graphics from the best of this global generation of skaters, True World Skate by Ryo Sanada and Suridh Hassan pays homage to the community-driven ethos that has boosted skateboarding far beyond California.
Through captivating storytelling and vivid grease-smeared imagery, the book uncovers the interconnected network of skaters, makers, and innovators who have contributed to the growth and evolution of skate culture.
