If you have not already heard, we have sadly lost a highly respected member of our community.

Don “Carver Don” Hartley past away on Saturday after a fall at Seylyn Bowl. He will be missed by his family and the thousands of people he touched, and shared skateboarding with. Carver Don was a major part of the Vancouver skate community, for over 30 years. He was the first ‘local’, he was the father of Seylynn, and with out question one of the purist souls that has ever ridden a board.

The VSBC along with members of the skatebard industry/community are working together to keep Carver’s memory alive. We’ll keep you updated on that.
