Joshua Fletcher, Founder

Josh got his first skateboard, a pink Nash with plastic trucks, as a Christmas gift from his grandmother. That board, along with a secondhand copy of “Skateboard Super Stunts,” acquired from a family friend, ignited a life-long passion that has given shape and color to every part of his life since then. After realizing in his teens that a career as a professional skateboarder was probably not in the cards, Josh pursued his other passion, making music, to a mild degree of commercial success before crashing out and getting a real job.

Despite the winding path, Josh never quit skateboarding. And although it takes him a little longer to recover these days, he can still be found boosting an ollie over the fire hydrant at the local DIY when his knees cooperate.

Sidewalk Surf Club was born from a desire to reconnect with skateboarding on a deeper level and rekindle some of the raw stoke and camaraderie of those formative years, but with jobs and kids and stuff.
