The point is it's art and there doesn't have to be a point to art. Hanging painted skateboards on the wall as art pieces is not an uncommon thing anyway. The large flat surface is good to draw on, it's got a unique shape that looks different than a regular frame, and it has a distinct connection to a certain lifestyle that you might want to include in your art. They look nice on the wall.

Without a point it isn't art, it's decoration.

If you want to decorate your house with an unused skateboard, go ahead. But all of those answers you gave above, those are choices that mean something. The idea that art doesn't have to have a point, is not it.

That is not the definition of either of those words.
