A golf & skate shop by Jose RojoEst. Indio, California

Four and a half hours of pure zen.

The Story

Chapter index · San Jose → Indio
01

San Jose

Tiltmode country.

Photo TK — archive scan
Fig. 1 — NC Boardshop days, South Bay. Crew: Tiltmode Army.

Came up through NC Boardshop and fell in with Tiltmode Army — San Jose's fun-first crew. Started on ramps, became a street pro. When the call came, it came from Marc Johnson himself: welcome to enjoi.

The crew nickname was "Jose NoShow" — they joked he just appeared one day. He showed up where it counted.

Smooth. Effortless. Technical. — every write-up, ever.
02

The Comeback

The part, the promise, the pro board.

Photo TK — VHS still
Fig. 2 — Bag of Suck era, 2006. The comeback part.

Midway through filming Bag of Suck, a car accident left him with a broken neck and a collapsed lung. He was out about a year. Then he came back and finished the part.

And the back tailslide at Stanford he'd bailed — on a Slap magazine cover, no less? Matt Eversole promised: land it and you're pro. He landed it, and found out on the spot, mid-scream.

Ten years later Thrasher ran his solo part, "Super Chavela" ('16) — yes, the drink.
03

The Desert

Stairs traded for fairways.

Photo TK — course film
Fig. 3 — SilverRock, early tee time. Jose's home track.

Same obsession, new terrain: golf, "one of the most frustrating yet gratifying sports out there." A 5 handicap with a scratch goal, a 60° lob wedge in the bag, SilverRock as the home track — and fishing local streams when the light's gone.

In 2026 he opened LEISURE inside The Place, downtown Indio — a shop for golf apparel with skate-influenced design, modern and vintage, in a valley with a hundred-plus courses and concrete that stays warm all winter.

The Coachella Valley chapter starts here.

Field Guide

Course & curb · the desert

The Course

SilverRock — Jose's home track

When he says golf is 4½ hours of pure zen, this is where he means.

PGA West — Stadium Course

Pete Dye's desert monster in La Quinta. Hosts The American Express every January — the tournament Arnold Palmer won at its 1960 debut; David Duval closed with a 59 here in '99.

The other hundred

The valley holds a hundred-plus courses across Palm Springs, La Quinta, Indian Wells and Palm Desert. You will not run out.

The Curb

La Quinta X Park

The region's flagship: three bowls, a full street course, lights for night sessions. Day pass runs $2–5.

Palm Springs Skate Park

30,000+ sq ft of concrete, including a feature inspired by the Nude Bowl.

The Nude Bowl — pay respects

DIY legend in Desert Hot Springs: a pool from an abandoned nudist resort, skated since the late '70s, buried by authorities, dug out again by skaters. Repeatedly.

The Detour

Shields Date Garden — est. 1924

Date shake non-negotiable. This valley grows ~95% of America's dates and throws it a festival every February — since 1947.

Old Town murals

Downtown Indio's Historic Mural Project — a dozen walls of local history, blocks from the shop.

Empire Polo Club

Yes, that Coachella — across town from the register.

Skaters have been on the tee box for years.

 The canon · 002

Jack Fardell built a golf brand on a skate vibe.

Walker Golf Things, 2022 — more of a skate vibe you can play golf in and still take to a country club or your public course, in his words.

 The canon · 003

The desert chapter gets written from Indio.

A hundred-plus courses, a flagship skatepark up the road, and a shop at The Place run by an ex-enjoi pro. This is the outpost.
