All About Us! A little history: Boom, Strobe & Edwards are Australia and New Zealand's longest established skateboard brands. Edwards Skateboarding began in 1977 with David Hill in Sydney, Australia. Boom Skateboards was founded in 1992 by Frank Edwards (New Zealand) and Andrew Mapstone from Melbourne, Australia. Strobe Skateboarding started in 1996.
The Australian / New Zealand tradition continues today with Joel van Moore in South Australia (designer for Boom Clothing and Boom Skateboarding), Trevor Ward in Melbourne, Australia collaborating and contributing to Edwards Skateboards
and Jonathan Edwards running the parent companies in New Zealand.
Our shoes are all designed, manufactured and quality controlled in conjunction with a well known Melbourne design and production company. Boom, Edwards & Strobe = True Australasian, skateboarding brands staying true to the grass roots!
