There's a serious revolution going on in women's skateboarding and this weekend's Exposure 2014: A Women’s Benefit Event, was proof that the bar has never been higher. Now in it's third year, this nonprofit women’s skate event is dedicated to providing female skaters an avenue to succeed while at the same time raising money for survivors of domestic violence. It was a festive atmosphere at the Encinitas YMCA this Saturday complete with a vendor row, skate clinics, a frontside invert contest judged by Steve Caballero himself, autograph signings, and multiple female divisions of ripping in both the bowl and vert ramp.
