Yeah Ventura is pretty crusty compared to other socal cities too. The spots are small but gnarly. The skateparks in the town are pretty much unskateable unless you've grown up at them and I think that probably makes a lot of the guys that come out of the area pretty unique. It has a really crazy skate scene though, seems like there are thousands of skaters in the town and a lot of them are crazy good! I don't personally know any of the guys like Aaron loreth or Diego Todd but I have seen them skating together often. I think it's sick they always have a bunch of Ventura footage in their parts.
