"Larry Stevenson, one of the foremost skateboard designers, died on Sunday after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. Stevenson was a Southern California native who, after witnessing the rise of surfing in the 1950s, aimed to popularize skateboarding by comparing it to surfing. He designed skateboards that looked similar to surfboards and promoted them in Surf Guide, a magazine he founded with a friend. In 1963, he created the world's first professional skateboard, which he named after noted surfer Phil Edwards.
