Oceanside, California has a rich skateboarding history and I was able to document a bit of it with my camera through the 80s and 90s. Join me next Monday night, April 22nd at The Privateer from 6 to 9pm for "The O'side Skate Connection". The Privateer is located at 1706 South PCH(101) in South Oceanside. GSD at Shell Bowl in 1985.
