Boards Across Hermosa
Attention art lovers and skateboard enthusiasts in LA
Get ready for a unique and exciting event in Hermosa Beach, CA: Boards Across Hermosa.
Local artists have put their creativity to work, by painting skateboard decks with the theme: Rock, Roll, Rebel Hermosa for Boards Across Hermosa. You can now find these one-of-a-kind boards in various shops around Hermosa Beach through St. Patrick's Day.
In late March, the skateboard decks will be moving to a new location where they will be auctioned off for the benefit of Indivisible Arts. Come see these amazing works of art for yourself!
"Titty City" on Display
Come see our Tits on display! Jessy, founder of Titty City Design hand-painted her signature Titty City design on a skateboard deck and it is being displayed to the public at Curious gift shop in Hermosa Beach.
Connecting to "Rock, Roll, Rebel: Hermosa"
As a feminist artist, Jessy wanted to honor the 2023 theme of Boards Across Hermosa by paying homage to Hermosa Beach local and Hall of Fame skateboarder, Cindy Whitehead.
The hand-painted skateboard deck titled, “Titty City,” is in honor of a Cindy Whitehead. Not only is she a pioneer of the sport in the 70s, with her long-lasting impact documented in the Smithsonian, but she also continues to carve space for girls and womxn in the male-dominated sport to this day.
The legendary, Cindy Whitehead gives back to womxn and girls in skateboarding through her movement Girl is Not a 4 Letter Word, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating opportunities, funding, and recognition.
"Keep on rocking, rolling, and rebelling!" - Jessy
