This past Saturday, the sixth annual Exposure Skate event co-founded by our great friend Amelia Brodka was held at the Encinitas “Poods” skatepark.

Every year, Exposure serves a dual purpose: to create opportunities for professional, amateur and beginning female skaters and to support at-risk communities by raising awareness, funding and resources for local non-profits.

So Amelia and her team are doing great things for the local community and continue to give back to skateboarding and beyond. Skaters from around the globe came to enter this one of a kind event, which is the biggest all-female skate contest in the world.
