Kicking off a series we're doing to highlight the best skateboarding cities of the summer is our own hometown and the birthplace of it all: San Diego. With interviews from Grant Brittain (one of TransWorld's founders) to legendary pros Matt Hensley, Jason Carney, Willy Santos and more, here's why San Diego has cemented a place in skateboarding history.
After the history lesson, settle into a montage from the new class of skaters from all over San Diego county: Noah Lora, Justice Lora, Jake Hofmann, Smiler Perez, Anthony Delgado, Nick Suarez, Marky McCoy and Tommy Sandoval.
