Boarding For Breast Cancer's Skate The Coast

Group shot before the start.

   Now in it's 7th year, Skate The Coast is 18-mile skateboarding marathon held by Boarding For Breast Cancer to raise money for breast cancer awareness, prevention, and support programs.  Skateboarders pushed along the 18-mile course starting at the Santa Monica Pier, and taking the bike path along the beach, passing through such areas as Venice Beach, Marina Del Rey, Manhattan Beach, till they reach the Redondo Beach Pier, where there was an after party at Wahoo's Fish Tacos. This wasn't just a skateboarder only event either, roller skaters and bicycle riders also joined in. Each participant needed to raise at least a minimum of  $50, and with so many of these awesome guys and girls each raising way beyond that, the total amount raised ended up to be over $20,000.
