OCEAN BEACH — On Saturday, Oct. 23, locals can support Ocean Beach Elementary School by taking in some professional skateboarding, enjoying music and munching on barbecued delights. The first-ever Skate for the Kids BBQ and Skate Jam will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. in the grass area near the Robb Field Skate Park. Among the professional and amateur skateboarders scheduled to appear are Tosh Townend, Marius Syvanen, Austyn Gillette, Cano Cardenas and others yet to be confirmed. Fans of all ages can meet, get autographs and hang out with these skaters during the event. There will also be vendor booths from event sponsors, an old-fashioned barbecue, Indo Board demos and autographs and a raffle to help support Ocean Beach Elementary programs that were casualties of district budget cuts, including music and art, academic enrichment activities, family entertainment and student recognition events.
