Joe Wood TSOL Skatopia. Joe Wood is a renowned musician known for his time as the frontman of the band TSOL. Before his music career took off, he was a skateboarder who frequented Skatopia in Buena Park. There, he would skate alongside his friends Scott Bunnel and Perry Peterson, known for their skill in localizing the pool.
As a younger skater, you looked up to Joe, Scott, and Perry, but also received tough love from them, much like older brothers keeping a younger sibling in line. Despite the occasional scolding, these interactions helped shape my skating journey at Skatopia.
Joe Wood’s passion for music eventually led him to front TSOL, where he significantly impacted the punk rock scene. Even today, he continues to create and perform music, staying true to his artistic roots. And his creativity as a musician expanded into different genres of music.

Joe Wood is a serious talent. If you ever get the chance to see him live take it. His performance last night blew my mind. He was on. He was in it. He took the entire club to another place in a few of the songs.
Although I don’t see Joe often he is always glad to see me. Tonight when I gave him a print he said “It’s been a while Hada!”. The print is of the last time Joe Wood rode a skateboard. It was at the Old Bro original location) in Carlsbad.
Finally, I will forever be at Skatopia with Joe Wood and the rest of the locals. I am so lucky to have known such a great group of people.
