Sunday May 8th was Mother’s Day – I celebrated in Cardiff with my mom and there were lots of girls celebrating at the Mighty Mama Skate O Rama at the Laguna Niguel Skatepark.

The annual Mother’s Day event, hosted by Skateboard Moms and Sisters of Shred, seeks to empower women through skateboarding and raise money for causes. This year, more than $4,500 in proceeds went to Community Service Programs and the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force. – OC Register

Thanks to those who went and shared here are some  highlights.

Happy to report that I am now able to drop in! Yesterday at the wood Iguana Bowl and today on cement. Awesome weekend of skating with amazing women at the MMSOR.

I love skate events like this – because everyone is welcome – women/girls age doesn’t matter in skateboarding – you’re never to young or too old to start having fun – and men/boys yes I want to skate with everyone who brings a positive vibe.  Below video 3mezagroms.

If you have pictures to add to this post just let me know – until then I’ll end it with some more shots from Kendra who traveled from NY to skate here in Southern California – have board can travel.

Skateboarding for fun and being able to help others – so rewarding & super stylish!
