Blind Skateboards, based in Los Angeles, California, was founded by skater Mark Gonzales in 1989 as part of the World Industries distribution company. Gonzales left the company in 1992 to start ATM Click with John Falahee and today Blind continues under the ownership of Dwindle Distribution, making some of the best quality skateboard decks, wheels and apparel around.
Over the years, some of the star names that have featured in Blind’s company team include Jason Lee, Rudy Johnson, Guy Mariano, Danny Way and vert rider Jordan Richter, many of whom left Blind to form their own companies. The current Blind team features pros Ronnie Creager, Morgan Smith, Filipe Ortiz, Kevin Romar, Sean Sheffey and newest recruit Texan Cody McEntire, plus ams Sewa Kroetkov, TJ Rogers and Yuri Facchini.
