Flippo's Surfside Skate Harbor
• Operator: Don & Mary Jane Puetts (1981-2001[8])
• DJ: Farel Dalrymle[U] (1991)
• Primary reason for closing: The city bought the property from the Puett's to convert it into a youth center.[10]
• Opened: 1982[8] - 2001[9]

"The city initially thought the skating rink, and an adjacent house on the property, could be turned into a youth center.
The city sold the building in 2005 to George Salwasser.
It took about three and a half years of planning before Guesno, a passionate baseball fan, settled on the idea of a business centered around batting cages .
The new business retains the original Flippo's wall colors of blue, red and gray, as well as a skating dolphin logo. "
