The National Skateboarding Association (NSA), founded in the 1980s by Frank Hawk, played a key role in the rise of competitive skateboarding. Focused on promoting both professional and amateur events, the NSA helped shape the competitive landscape throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The association’s efforts were pivotal in redirecting skaters’ focus towards competitions, contributing to the emergence of the World Cup of Skateboarding. In 1983, alongside the rise of the third wave of skateboarding, the NSA helped solidify the sport’s place in mainstream culture, aligning with Trans-World Skateboarding magazine to present a more positive image of skateboarding.
