Element Skateboards
Element Skateboards is one of the companies that were brought into existence when the lull experienced in the late 1980s finally seemed to peter out. While Element skateboarding clothing and accessories items are well known, it is interesting to note that the company is actually under the ownership of Billabong International Limited, an Australian clothing company that is known for its surf wear. Not to be deterred from its vision, the Element Skateboard Company is well known for the Element Skateboards logo, the stylized tree.
Running a number of teams, the Element Skateboard logo may be found internationally, and with a footwear line as well as a clothing line, it is not surprising that the founder of the company is able to get out his environmental message. While in the past skateboarders were not necessarily considered to be at the top of the list of environmentally conscious individuals, those who choose to ride Element skate boards appear to be cut from a different cloth. Earth friendly designs found on the average

The environmentally friendly side of the Element skate boarding outfit is aimed specifically at reaching preteens and teens with an education program that covers the earth friendly aspects as well as the skateboarding aspect that makes the whole program rather palatable to the kids they are trying to reach. With skate camps that are run in conjunction with YMCA facilities and other outfits, the goal the Element Skateboard Company finds in this outfit is simple: increase self awareness, increase self esteem, increase the knowledge about nature, and in so doing increase the acknowledgement that something needs to be done to preserve natural resources. Attach it all to a nice complete Element skateboard and you can see why kids will flock to the camps!
