US Nationals will have top competitors vying for national titles, cash and prizes through exciting head-to-head hybrid, a highly technical tight slalom and a fast giant slalom — all at a gnarly steep hill venue situated in the slalom racing hotbed of the 1970’s! The La Costa Open was first held in 1975 and with the many races that followed – is the longest running skateboard race in the world. Continuing the La Costa legacy – the 2016 US National Slalom Championships will once again bring these legendary roots together with the modern era race scene.
