'Dogtown and The Legendary Z-Boys'

I’ve lived in Venice nearly 20 years, and while much has changed, the history and influence of skate and surf culture has remained. You can still meet legends walking the Boardwalk and see the best skaters of today and yesterday showing off their skills at the skate park by the Breakwater. The California Heritage Museum has put together a great exhibit with boards, photography, and art about the original founders of Venice skate culture, the Z-Boys who made Venice, well, Venice.
