Editor’s note: Mark Gonzales epitomizes what it means to skateboard. To surf. To paint. To be unique. Mark Oblow recognized this sense of style early on and of course he was there to document it. Hit the google machine hard today for Gonz clips, and whether you surf or skate, you’re going to find some sick and inspiring shit.—Travis 

“the gonz, wallows 1986 with jesse martinez and gator in the background. seeing the gonz exploding in the ’80s was the best thing ever. shot on a canon ae”—Mark Oblow
