About Us

Zeppelin AeroWorks is a small, independent, 100% skater-owned and operated skateboard brand that produces premium quality skateboards and wheels.

 

The Owner

Zeppelin AeroWorks is owned and operated by Farid A Abraham - after original owner Bud Stratford and Laura Richards had to let it go. Farid is old, fat, & grey and loves skateboarding. Starting in 1975, he has never stopped except for the 6 major spine surgeries he's had. He grew up in NorCal and now lives in the skate mecca of Colorado, not able to skate like he used to, he still loves a good snake run or ditch. High quality boards with a functional shape and cool graphics -That's the vision and focus for Zeppelin AeroWorks.

We each have about 50 years of skateboard history beneath us and we're wanting to continue this ride! Here at Zeppelin AeroWorks, we consider that a real asset. Zeppelin AeroWorks is something that we do for fun.


The Basic Idea

We make limited-edition, modern reinterpretations of the skateboards from the mid 1960's, through the late 1970’s and late 1980’s, with a little bit of early 1990’s, a few surf skates, and a couple of “street” decks tossed in for good measure.

We also make a line of modernized double radial wheels (the Helium SRs) along with a hybrid radial/conical design (the Helium SH).

In short: we make products that are either really hard, or absolutely impossible, to find anywhere else.


American Engineered, American Made: Transparency In Sourcing

All of our decks and wheels are made in the USA. Our boards are made at Madrid in Huntington Beach, California, while our wheels are poured at AEND in Hutto, Texas.

In every way, our products are made of the very best materials possible, by the very best craftsmen in the world. Everything that we make is made in small, discreet production runs, to extremely high standards. We're very passionate about what we do and what we make. 

We are very, very proud to be able to say this.

The quality of our products reflects this purposeful passion.

"Quality", after all, is built to last a very, very long time.
