Poweredge Magazine is one of original skateboarding magazines from the very birth of skateboarding. Poweredge was started in 1961 as “Surf Guide” by the father of modern skateboarding and founder of Makaha Skateboards, Larry Stevenson. The original issue of “Surf Guide” featured the very first skateboarding ad: Joey Saenz riding for Makaha Skateboards. When “Surf Guide” was officially renamed “Poweredge Magazine” in 1987, and shifted focus to skateboarding, that same picture from the 1961 issue graced the inaugural cover. Poweredge Magazine is a living legend of skateboarding and has featured nearly everyone of the greatest skaters of both the classic and modern era within its pages.

Poweredge Since 1987
Poweredge is about skateboarding. We’ve been living it, breathing it, printing it, photographing it, and filming it for decades. We get so stoked on skating we need Poweredge as an outlet for our energy. Even with Poweredge we go over the top. The craziest shots, the gnarliest articles, unedited candid interviews, and the things no one else will print about skateboarding but everyone needs to see. We don’t care, it’s about the skateboarding, we’re here to skate and we’re posting whatever we want about it.
