Wind. Water. Fire. Earth. – Element Skateboards
Come on a journey through the Element ecosystem and immerse yourself in the natural elements that have shaped us throughout the decades. The idea of Element was born from and forged through the properties of wind, water, fire and earth. The lessons and ideals we have learned and established from this conceptual journey beginning in 1992 have been nothing short of remarkable, whether that be through the act of skating or simply interacting with nature. Holding steadfastly onto these principles, they will guide Element through the next thirty years and beyond.
