May 24, 1965 San Diego was well represented at the First International Skateboard Championships which were held over the weekend in Anaheim. These are three members of the nine-man Gordon and Smith Fiberflex team which came away with second place among the twenty teams competing. 21-year-old John Hayward and 23-year-old Skip Frye demonstrate some of the skill used by the team to bring them so close to victory in the competition in which more than 300 took part. This is 21-year-old Willie Phillips of Pacific Beach who took first place in the men’s double A downhill slalom event. Willie was third over all in his division. Skateboarder Magazine gave 500-dollar scholarships in each of three divisions. Despite the many competitors, there were no reports of injuries.
