Suggested Ticket DescriptionGeneral Rider Registration

Is this event suitable for beginners?

Riders should already know how to safely control an electric skateboard. This is not a riding lesson or beginner training course.

Can I attend with a regular skateboard?

Contact the organizer before registering. The route and group pace may be better suited for electric boards.

Can I bring a OneWheel, electric scooter, or electric unicycle?

Other personal electric vehicles may be accepted. Contact the organizer before the event to confirm.

Is a helmet required?

A helmet is strongly recommended. The organizer may require helmets for all riders.

How fast will the group ride?

The pace will depend on pedestrian traffic, boardwalk conditions, and the experience of the group. This is a scenic social ride, not a race.

Will we return to the starting point?

The organizer will confirm whether the event is a round-trip ride or ends near the Coast Guard station area. Participants should review the final event instructions before arriving.

What happens if my battery dies?

Each rider is responsible for their own battery capacity and transportation. Ride leaders may not be able to tow riders or provide charging.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Registered attendees will receive updates through Eventbrite if the event is delayed, rerouted, rescheduled, or canceled.

Suggested Ticket NameParticipants under 18 should attend with a parent or legal guardian and may be required to provide signed permission. The organizer should confirm the minimum age before publishing the event.

Ride the San Diego Bayfront

Come experience downtown San Diego from an electric skateboard.

This community ride will begin at:

1011 Union St.
San Diego, CA 92101

From the meeting point, we will ride toward the waterfront and continue along the bayfront boardwalk, passing some of San Diego’s best waterfront scenery as we head northwest toward the airport and the U.S. Coast Guard Station.

The ride is designed to be social, scenic, and welcoming. We will maintain a comfortable group pace, stop when needed, and be respectful of pedestrians, cyclists, businesses, and other boardwalk users.

Whether you ride an electric skateboard regularly or simply want to meet other local riders, this is a great opportunity to explore San Diego, connect with the community, and enjoy an afternoon or evening along the bay.

Event Schedule

Check-In and Meet-Up: 6:00 PM PST

Ride Begins: 6:15 PM PST

Estimated Return or Event End: 7:15PM PST

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure so there is enough time for introductions, equipment checks, and the pre-ride safety briefing.
