Barbara Logan, the mother of Logan Earth Ski founders Brian and Bruce Logan died of breast cancer Saturday November 17, 2007 in Oceanside. She was 79 years old according to a story in the North County Times.
Anyone who grew up dreaming of traveling to Carlsbad to ride the world’s first concrete skateboard park knows all about the Logan Earth Ski brand and that is thanks in a large part to Barbara.
Logan steered her three sons and daughter toward skateboarding and served as the bookkeeper and administrator of the family business. . . . The Logan Earth Ski brand of solid oak skateboards was a top-seller in the 1970s, when the advent of urethane wheels catapulted skateboarding’s popularity as a competitive sport . . . Logan’s survivors include three sons, Brian, of Vista; Bruce, of Carlsbad; and Brad, of Oceanside; a daughter, Robin Logan, of Palm Desert and four grandchildren. The family is planning private memorial services Dec. 1 in Oceanside.”
Our thoughts are with the entire Logan family.

very inspirational story…
I found out about Barb’s passing today 11/17/09 while surfing the internet. I knew Barb during the 70’s and spent a lt of time with her. She was a great woman with whom I have some great memories. I hope all her children who I know very well also are doing good. I don’t know if this message will get to one of them or not?
Thanks for the reply.
Wish I would have seen it sooner.
Find me …would love to talk..
