Technê Skateboards is a collaboration of skaters, artists, and photographers working together to create an artistic brand that celebrates our love of skateboarding. 

Their decks are designed and shaped by skaters, for skaters with a true passion for the craft and art of skateboarding. These boards are not only made to be skated; Technê Skateboards collaborates with some amazing artists to create graphics that are works of art you can hang on your wall.

Father Time is a personification of time. In recent centuries he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (which represents time's constant one-way movement, and more generally and abstractly, entropy).

As an image "Father Time's origins are curious". The ancient Greeks themselves began to associate chronos, their word for time, with the agricultural god Cronos, who had the attribute of a harvester's sickle.

The Romans equated Cronos with Saturn, who also had a sickle, and was treated as an old man, often with a crutch. The wings and hourglass were early Renaissance additions and he eventually became a companion of the Grim Reaper, personification of Death, often taking his scythe. He may have as an attribute a snake with its tail in its mouth, an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternity.
