Hubba Hideout

Hubba Hideout is a set of four concrete ledges near the Embarcadero that became the most famous skateboarding spot in the world. Named after a local skater who frequented the area in the late nineties, the ledges provided a steep, perfectly smooth surface for tricks that were impossible elsewhere. Professional skaters traveled here to land maneuvers that would then appear in magazines and videos, cementing the spot as a global destination. Despite the city finally removing the original concrete, skaters still return to the site.
