The Zephyr Competition Team (or Z-Boys) were a group of American skateboarders in the mid-1970s from Santa Monica and Venice, California.

Originally consisting of 12 members, the Z-boys were originally sponsored by the Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Productions Surf and Skate Shop. Their innovative surfing-based style and aerial moves formed the foundations of contemporary vert and transition skateboarding.

Because they were California surfers, they patterned their moves after surfing. After all, they were just surfing the concrete. They changed the face of skateboarding forever.

As with other skateboarders in the day, in our story A Noble Cause, Jadon follows the Z-Boys via Skateboarder magazine.
