"I met Tosh when he was 5 years old and he was a very shy boy back then. I saw Tosh’s break through over the last year. Something changed in him after his first trip to the North Shore. Now, Noseriding and Tuberinding are his things." - Tatsuo Takei

Save Rip City Skates



"As hard as it is to write this it’s come to our attention that Rip City Skates at 2709 Santa Monica Blvd. Is scheduled to be demolished sometime in the near future. It is our understanding that the store plans to relocate and not close but the purpose of this post is to raise awareness on this issue. This store is more than just a skate shop, Jim and Bill have created an environment that has fostered the skate community of Santa Monica for over 40 years. It's also Los Angeles’s oldest continuously operated skate shop. It’s upsetting to our community that the city of Santa Monica would overlook it’s cultural relevance to the city itself. Its significance in skateboard history is well known and respected worldwide. Today we are asking for you to sign this petition in our effort to have the city deem Rip City skates a historical landmark. Thank you for your time." - Rip City Locals

Water Quality Advisory



Los Angeles county beaches are under advisory after the rainfall starting Nov. 27, 2019

The Los Angeles County Public Health department issued beach water use advisories on Wednesday, Nov. 27, as rainfall hit the region.

The advisory at Los Angeles County beaches will remain in effect until 9:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the advisory. The Orange County warning states that elevated bacteria levels could continue for a period of at least three days, depending on the intensity of the rain and volume of runoff.

Los Angeles County Health Officer Muntu Davis is cautioning residents who are planning to visit Los Angeles County beaches to avoid swimming, surfing and playing in ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers.

“Bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters at and around these outlets after a rainfall,” the announcement states. “Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.”

Areas of the beach apart from discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers are exempt from the advisory. The advisory may be extended depending on further rainfall.

“Swimmers should avoid coastal waters impacted by discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers and beach users should avoid contact with any runoff on the beach during dry or wet weather conditions,” it reads.

For information on beach conditions, call L.A. County’s beach closure hotline, 800-525-5662
