Coda Skateboards – 20 years of making crap

Words by Pat Smith

Photos by Elias Parise, Toby Angel, Evan Hutchings

20 years… wow. It’s been so long I can’t possibly remember everything. A lot of amazing memories, and probably equal amounts of forgotten ones, all amazing!

To celebrate we made our fourth video of length?

Self Titled” In 2007

Slappy Hour In 2011

Coda In Japan” In 2016

And Now ” EP” Hope you enjoy these photos and the video as much as we did making it!

An oasis of garbage in a desert of ever rising condos. For someone who can ollie really high, Duncan Rowland’s dedication to not rely on that skill is admirable. Full court powerslide back tail over the mulch.

When the weather dries up, sometimes so do the pools. But empty pools yield more utility to those inclined to inclines. Tony Farmer diving into the deep.

Concrete waves in an urban jungle. Caleb Shanks’s all terrain skills help him navigate a noseblunt slide across this back alley jetty.

If you can’t find Jake Keenan on the ground, Just look up! He’ll probably be in a tree or on some roof top or in this case, flying out to a thread the needle wall ride. narrowly avoiding a tetanus shot.

Classic Detroit spot, classic Pat Galloway move. There’s probably a switch flip in there somewhere, But this was written before the video was done so who knows. We still have to watch the video together…
