Growing number of Bay Area hospitality workers find their footing on skateboards

At Outta Sight Pizza in San Francisco , owner Eric Ehler is a one-man assembly line, cranking out hundreds of pies a day. Hot ovens, long hours, always on his feet.

"It's incredibly hard work, it's very physical," he said.

Like many in the industry, his go-to way to unwind was at the bars. Now, he lets loose at the park.

"This is how we blow off steam and relieve our stress. Because we know that after this we're gonna have to go back to that grind," he told CBS News Bay Area.

Ehler is part of a growing number of hospitality workers finding balance on four wheels.

Garrett Marks is the beverage director at a Michelin-starred restaurant, all buttoned up by night. But out here, he's a self-described "badass."

"Just something that's always made me happy as a kid," he said.
