The Encinitas Skate Plaza

We forgot to celebrate Poods Park 6th birthday on New Year’s Eve. It’s insane that much time has already passed. We’ve watched incredible locals grow up before our eyes like Dylan Jaeb shown here. He’s without a doubt our LOTY (local of the year) he’s always ripping the park with a kind smile from sun up to sun down. Cheers to 6 years. ... Thanks for making Poods one of the best places on earth.

Mayor Catherine Blakespear and the current City Council made sure there was a neighborhood skate spot included in the new Olympus Park in Leucadia that is opening soon. We didn't have to petition or beg. It was included in the process from the beginning. The park looks really fun. If you live in Encinitas and are a skateboarder theres only one choice when you go to the polls this month, vote for Mayor Blakespear, Kellie Hinze and Tony Kranz.

Happy 5th birthday Poods Park! Thanks for another wonderful year in the best place in the world.

This Sunday join the local skate community in the fight against racism and police brutality on Go Skateboarding Day! More info below.

How long will Tony Hawk hold the title of oldest boardslide on the rail? Will Jamie Thomas unseat him in 2030? Only time will tell.

Every generation of Encinitas skater has taken a big summer trip to europe after high school as a rite of passage. The Mohkie boys did it proper.

Nothing more Encinitas than grabbing your board and hitting the streets.

Tragedy struck our local community this past weekend. Gianni Dean took his own life at just the age of 15. We are coming together to support his family and honor his life this Sunday at Poods. Bring a candle to burn while you skate to celebrate his life.

This Saturday rise and skate with Skate Rising
