Attention Coastside Skaters. The Skate the Coast group has been formed by skaters like you. We are working to improve the coastside skating situation.
Briefly, our short-term goal is to upgrade and beautify the park on Kelly Ave. The not so short-term goal is to establish 15,000 sq ft of concrete, the caliber of Pacifica or Santa Cruz skateparks.
Soon we will have the ability to start fundraising for the cause. Our stepping-stone to that, is: working closely with the city, the B/G Club and the school district in order to make the Kelly Ave park all that it can be.
Now. Issues at the Kelly Ave park have arisen surrounding the use of helmets. We all need to cooperate with HMBPD’s wishes for helmet compliance, as it is part of the big picture for achieving a NEW skatepark. This will not only help us progress toward the new park but also help us avoid park closures and we can work to add more ramps and obstacles to skate at the park.
The reasons for wearing a helmet are many. You wouldn’t ride in a car without a seatbelt! Take a look at this. It’s real and don’t think it can’t happen to YOU.

Pay particular attention to the “CRAZY CRASH, SHOCKING AFTERMATH” video listed. And, if that wasn’t convincing enough, Skate the Coast has put together it’s very own “TOP TEN LIST” of reasons for skating with a helmet on.
