Jack
W. Hokanson 1995
Founder of Jack's Surfboards
First to be inducted into the "Honor Roll" for
the Surfing Walk of Fame, Jack is recognized for setting
a standard for surf shops coast to coast. When Jack took
his son surfing at the Huntington Pier, he was alarmed
that the kids were literally blue when they got out of
the water. He saw a need for a full-service surf shop
selling wetsuits and surf clothing (primarily baggies
back then!), as well as surfboards and skateboards. The
shop opened in 1957 and was such a success that a second
location was established in his home town of Anaheim.
JACK'S was also a major manufacturer of belly boards.
Upon selling the shop in 1974, he manufactured skateboards. |
