Welcome to the Venice Surf & Skateboard Association Official Website

The Venice Surf & Skateboard Association (VSA) was officially formed in 2000 as the infamous Venice Pavilion was torn down by the city of L.A. The Venice Surf & Skateboard Association was formed by Venice Surf-A-Thon founder, Todd Gessel.

The VSA's mission is to maintain our world class skatepark at Venice Beach, CA. To keep the park a healthy, safe space; free of graffiti, litter and debris. We are expanding our programming to better serve and unite our community. The Venice Surf & Skateboard Association aims to reach out to the youth in the Venice community through educational programs, mentoring and community involvement. Your donations allow Venice Surf & Skateboard Association to expand our educational programming, outreach, and advocacy, thereby helping to enhance the quality of life in our community.

The VSA is organized under The Skatepark Association International, a tax-exempt public benefit charitable 501(c)(3) California corporation, and does not serve the private gain of any person or organization. All contributions made to the Venice Surf & Skateboard Association are tax-deductible and checks should be made out to: Venice Surf & Skateboard Association.
