Since skateboarding was born to satisfy people's desire to enjoy the pleasure of surfing on land, the skateboarding culture in the 1970s had a strong mark of surfing, and many skateboarding parks even built simulated surfing terrain that was more suitable for skateboarding.
In this way, skateboarding is completely separated from surfing, and skateboarders devote themselves to skateboarding, developing their own language, skills, clothing styles, and musical preferences.
