California has been the birthplace of so many of our country's innovations, including Apple computers and Levi's jeans. Which of these was also invented in the Golden State?

Skateboarding was invented sometime in the late 1940s, or early 1950s. Originally known as "sidewalk surfing," they were created to give surfers something to do when they weren't on the water. The first manufactured skateboards were made for a Los Angeles surf shop.
