Nicknamed the City in Motion in the ‘60s, San Diego has steadily carved out its identity by celebrating the convergence of cultures, backgrounds and perfect weather. A haven for skateboarding since its inception, in 2018 pro skater Kellen James channeled his years in the game to form Arts-Rec Skateshop. Expanding to two locations, Arts-Rec plays off the duality of skateboarding, offering a curated shop and community events that tap into San Diego’s creative spirit.
