Variflex Skateboards

Variflex Skateboards was started by Allen Losi's father, brother, uncle and cousin around 1977, but struggled with an identity as Allen's dad pushed producing quality boards while his uncle pushed going mass market. By 1985, Allen's father had left the company and Allen contemplated leaving to start Team Losi through Santa Cruz/Bullet, but ultimately stayed and launched Team Losi through Variflex.
