Skateboarding Hall of Fame (or SHoF), founded in 1997, is a museum and hall of fame located in Simi Valley, California, United States.[1] The museum documents the history of Skateboarding and the skateboarders, photographers, and other notable figures, publications and companies who have influenced its development.
The museum holds the largest collection of skateboard paraphernalia in the world and continues to contribute to skateboarding's history through its annual induction of influential skaters and cultural icons into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.[2]
Current Location
Formerly located at the Skatelab skate park (also in Simi Valley). The Skateboarding Hall of Fame reopened in December 2018 at a 10,000 square foot retail space located in the Simi Valley Town Center. Its collection now includes; thousands of vintage boards, memorabilia, artifacts, a library, VHS, painting art, skating ramps, and a skate shop.[3] In an interview given to the Ventura County Star, founder Todd Huber commented, “This space is such a positive thing, not only for Simi Valley, but for skateboarders too. They really deserve a spot like this that’s honoring skateboarding.”[4]
In 2009, the museum began inducting individuals in to the Hall of Fame. The first group of inductees included skateboarding pioneers; Danny Way, Bruce Logan, Tony Hawk, Tony Alva.[5] Every year that has followed, with the exception of 2011, the SHoF has elected new inductees.
