A huge day unfolded at Converse Coastal Carnage on Saturday, and 42 skaters later, the final cut to fifteen was made for Sunday. But not before a bunch of shit eating, colliding, and cage-match near missing went down (not to mention some of the best CCCC skating to ever be witnessed in over three years of beachside skating).
For now, check out these snaps, pics, and photos while you wait for our video clip from today’s barn burner. Ted’s working on it now and it should be up and riding by the time you’re pouring the milk on your cereal
