First off camping is just plain fun, especially at the beach. Trestles is less than a quarter mile away which we skate daily. The entrance to the campground becomes a 25-35mph downhill sweeping left, right, 100yd straight into a 90 degree left. Then a mellow left right into the last straight untill you hit the loop at the bottom approx 600yds. Calafia offers 30mph+ and milder sweeping turns into the same loop ending on the beach. Light sand on the sides of the road makes for easy slides without getting bucked. Trestles trail is a fun one to bomb too and is only a short skate from camp. The hills surrounding the area are full of lines for those who want to explore. Just got back from 4 days there without one complaint, and even rounded up some random campers with longboards to join us. Slide gloves are highly recommended as well as helmets and pads. We just wore slide gloves and helmets. We have been, and will carry on camp shredding so if anyone ever wants to join us, hit me up.
The bike path/board walk is a great ride for anyone of any skill level, go on a week day during sunset and you have a nice winding smooth road to your self with one of the best views you will ever see.

Looking at the past meet ups the HB area has had a good turnout of people and is ideal for all skill levels. I understand this is a busy time of year for everyone but being someone that has just started longboarding I am eager to have the opportunity to learn form some of you more experienced riders, I am aware of YouTube, but nothing beats hanging out and having a good time. Again this is in just an Idea.
