01 / The origin

“Skateboarding deserved more recognition—for the skill, the culture, and the mental strength it takes.”

Two friends.
One shared respect.

In 2010, childhood best friends Elton Brown and Jason Gaffney created LOF while living in Germany. Elton was playing professional basketball overseas, but both friends found themselves drawn to another demanding sport.

At a local skatepark, they watched kids and seasoned riders work the same lines again and again—falling, adjusting, and committing. They saw a culture powered by creativity, courage, and uncommon mental toughness. LOF—Leap of Faith Skateboarding—was born.

The founders / then and now

The same two.
The next leap.

From building the first ideas in Germany to standing behind the rebirth sixteen years later—Elton Brown and Jason Gaffney are ready to move LOF forward.
