So many interesting things about this ad for the Frog House. First of all, check out that impressive stack of almost 100 skateboards. On top of that (literally) there’s a kid who seems like he’s mere seconds away from a colossal disaster, not to mentioned damaged product. Then there’s the shirtless character behind the counter… And where did Small Faces skateboards come from? I doubt Rod Stewart’s<\/a> people were OK with that, assuming they had even been aware of it. If so, maybe it’s time to start a company called Rolling Stone Skateboards. Maybe it’s 40 years too late, actually. Yeah, I know Rod Stewart was in the Faces, but the UK release of the first Faces album was actually credited to the Small Faces, and I don’t have any pictures of anyone else but Rod Stewart wearing Kickers. Do ya think I’m Skate-y? I’m not even done yet! What’s with the Frog House trash talking the “Huntington Beach\u00a0surf ghetto?” Amazingly, the Frog House<\/a> is still doing business in Newport. <\/p>\n

In 1963, we started the Frog House, just down the street\u00a0from the Santa Ana Flivermouth. Through the years, we’ve\u00a0become headquarters for almost all the hot surfers and\u00a0skateboarders in the area. We’ve let the Huntington Beach\u00a0surf ghetto wallow in its own confusion, preferring the\u00a0serenity and cleaner tubes of Newport.<\/p>\n
