Paul Van Doren, cofounder of Vans, a shoe brand that became a multi-billion-dollar action-sports empire thanks to the SoCal skate community and a focus on custom kicks, died Thursday at 90.
His death, confirmed Friday by Costa Mesa, Calif.-based Vans, comes just nine days after the publication of Van Doren’s book, “Authentic: A Memoir by the Founder of Vans.” No cause of death was given, but, according to Vans, Doren died at home surrounded by his family.

Hawaii-based T&C Surf celebrates 50 years in business this year. It’s one of the few industry brands with that kind of longevity that has remained both independently owned and authentic.
Founder Craig Sugihara did not have grand ambitions when he started. He just wanted to build boards.
“There was no grand plan,” he told SES in an interview. “Being young and dumb I just started. I was glassing boards for Greg Noll’s shop. The next step was I learned to shape at Mystic Surf Shop. After that, I felt like wow, I can do this. My dream was to do it on my own – to build quality surfboards, and that hasn’t changed.”

IN THE EARLY ‘70s, skateboarders were the renegades, the badasses of the sporting world, with their innovative moves, creative vernacular, and even their unusual practice spots. Because designated skate parks hadn’t been invented yet, skateboarding gangs would appropriate abandoned or neglected backyard swimming pools. They’d drain the water, leaving a nice, smooth cement bowl for practicing tricks and freestyle moves. “Riding the pool” meant carving paths across the bottom of the cement pool.
Tony Alva, a kid from a Venice, California neighborhood called Dogtown, was being noticed for his revolutionary stunts and became the first to literally go “off the wall.”
