Torger Johnson

Action Sports

Torger Johnson was an American skateboarder and surfer, born in 1951 and died in 1983. He was considered one of the early pioneers of skateboarding and took part in the first International Skateboard Championships in 1965 in Anaheim, California. He established the Makaha team in 1963 and was also a member of the Hobie Super Surfer team. He died in a car accident in Maui, Hawaii, in 1983, and in 2019 he was posthumously inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. The English Wikipedia article about him is short, and nothing beyond the facts it states is claimed here, so the remaining facets of his record are left open rather than guessed.
