Waking A Sleepy Town A Profile on Jason Strubing Fifteen year old Jason Strubing spends a day out skating with his friends and his brothers. He stays out into the night, having a great time. When he and his brothers come home and head into the living room, he sees a pile of skate gear on the floor. The three brothers approach the pile and start looking at everything in awe. They spend hours checking items that they had only seen in magazines.
It was at this moment that Jason realized his parents were serious about opening a skate shop. “My name is Jason Strubing and I have been running SkateWorks for the past twenty five years and have run this one in Los Altos for the past three” (Jason). He has had his newest shop in Los Altos for the past three. Back when Jason was in his early teens, skateboarding was his life. He and his friends would go out and skate wherever they could. Because of his addiction to skateboarding, his family spent a lot of time at
the local skate shop, where the service was disappointing to Jason’s mom, Paula. She and Jason’s dad, Bill, noticed the high demand for skateboards in their area, and thought it would be a good idea to open a shop of their own. When they shared their idea with Jason and his brothers, the boys were beyond excited, but did not expect the plan to actually materialize. To their sons’ surprise, Jason’s parents did indeed open up a shop in Santa Cruz - the first Skate Works. Jason and his brothers started their careers there. Very quickly,
