LEGEND OF LA COSTA: The local hills of La Costa, California became famous as a skate mecca in the 70's era of skateboarding. Home turf for a local crew of top professional skateboarders of the day – La Costa was the site of many historical races. The first La Costa Open was held in 1975 – and the tradition of slalom skateboard racing has been passed on through the decades and lives on today.
