A visual retrospective of the early skateboarding era through the collection of skateboard collector Jacques Bensahkoun (Pacific Coast Vintage) compiled by French curator Charles Deroyan of Masala Noir. 

The Golden Age of Skateboarding is a nostalgic journey back to the golden era of skateboarding (1972-1984), a time that reshaped our perception of skateboarding, elevating it from a mere hobby to a profound subculture. This rare hardcover book compiles Jacques’ collection of more than 100 vintage skateboards along with an archive of more than 500 skate ads and zines.
