The location and name is correct, I skated there myself with Freddy and we did start our skating at the Radway Inn parking lot. I actully won one of the throphies handed out during some of the events done there. Some good times and memories, even the winter spent on Pensacola Beach where Freedy attempted to teach surfing but I was MUCH better on land than in the water.

Kona is in Jacksonville, FL, i skated there just the other day and they have a sick snake run and a deep ass bowl. Id definitly recommend stopping by if your ever in town.

There were paved waves in both Cocoa and Pensacola. I personally skated the paved wave in Pensacola. It didn’t last but a few years, but it was there and it was a significant part of Pensacola Skateboarding history. There is a picture here in the gallery of Greg L. skating the paved wave in Cocoa. The pictures posted here are guys skating the Paved wave in Pensacola.

You might want to check your facts just a little before you write articles. The Paved Wave was not in Pensacola, you are confusing it with Kona skatepark. It was in Cocoa. I travelled to skate both as a youngster many a time. And I might say I had a hell of a time in both during the early ’70s. Met some of the local “pros” – big dissapointment in their abilites. Learned that just because your getting your picture published doesn’t make you a great skater. Take Bruce Walker for example, he really was lame even in his day. Oh well, thanks for the flashback of memories…
