Boarding For Breast Cancer is thrilled to announce the 17th Annual Skate The Coast October 23 + 24, 2026 in Santa Monica, CA.

Skate the Coast takes participants down a 19-mile route along the beautiful California coastline starting at the Santa Monica Pier and ending in Redondo Beach. This event is similar to Skate the Lake with a registration pre-party in Redondo Beach with live music, raffles, auctions, and sponsored beverages. Riders meet the next morning for the main event, while those looking for a smaller commitment can drop in at Dockweiler State Beach to join for the last leg of the route. Awards, food, prizes, and more will greet participants at our finish line at Dive N Surf!

B4BC welcomes anyone on wheels of all ages and abilities to join this push for prevention as we raise funds for B4BC's education, prevention and survivorship programs. Please help us reach our $75K goal by registering today! Registration includes an event tee shirt, goodie bag and prizes for top fundraisers!

Trash everywhere. Two days after the end of the controversial "FiFA World Cup Fan Zone" at Venice Beach the area is still littered with garbage.

The grass has been destroyed, trash is still everyone on the ground. The organizers have left abandoned the site, the city workers are left cleaning up their mess, with locals steppong in to help out.

Huge sections of the grass is now dirt, because the booths and installations left over the 5 days have killed the grass.
