While the fans at Huntington Beach's Nike U.S. Open of Surfing were officially there for the action in the water, some of the best skaters in the sport were throwing down just a few feet from the water's edge. The event hosted two skate comps: the Damn-Am in the street park and the Coastal Carnage in the big blue bowl. Here are highlight videos from both comps. Ben Raybourn ended up taking out the Coastal Carnage, and amateur Dylan Witkn took the Damn-Am.
