Antedating of "Skateboard"

[Shapiro, Fred]

skateboard (OED 1964)

1959 _Pasadena Independent_ 29 May 13 (Newspaperarchive)  The popularity of the "skateboard," however, will vary in some sort of proportion to the number of scrapes, breaks and bruises that the surfers suffer, for they're rolling on pavement, not water.
