Blind Skateboards is the brand founded by skating legend Mark Gonzales (aka "The Gonz"),  the guy who among other things helped to bring the kickflip onto the skating scene. He is also  the man that they named the famous Gonz Gap in San Francisco's Embarcadero after. With the 1991 video "Video Days," Blind gained its reputation in the skateboarding world and has retained it ever since. It is still among the leading skateboard brands in the United States. With their new series of skateboards, Blind has introduced revolutionary new deck constructions: the Resin-7, Resin-8, Resin-V, and Stiff Glue constructions. This new way of building skateboards has given Blind's skateboards an unprecedented level of strength, durability, and pop.
