Sponsored by Vision Skateboards, whose classic roots in the industry run deep! Schedule - Time format for Saturday and Sunday: 9:00 a.m. - Open Class qualifying with eliminations immediately following 12:00 noon - Pro Class qualifying with eliminations immediately following Finals All Classes immediately following Pro Class eliminations Award ceremony following finals on Sunday Location - Racing both days held on El Fuerte Street in Carlsbad Directions - From Interstate 5 exit La Costa Blvd. Head east.

Historical background - Slalom skateboard racing -- at its peak in the late 70's -- has re-emerged as a world class event in the last few years. In the heyday, La Costa California was a mecca for slalom racing and the locale for many legendary races. 70's racing legends Tom Ryan, Henry Hester, Bob Skoldberg and Bob Piercy -- the original "La Costa Boys" -- came to these hills regularly to fine-tune their skills.

The Turner SummerSki set new standards for racing performance and stylized design, and boards constructed more than 25 years ago are classics, proudly maintained by collectors and loyal fans and still actively used in slalom racing competitions today. The Turner design legacy lives on in part through Turner Downhill - formed by Howard Gordon in 2001 -- who collaborated with Bob Turner to reintroduce his revolutionary designs to a popular demand. Saturday's race is dedicated to Bob Turner who passed away in 2002.
