We are thrilled to announce that our 2-day event was an incredible success!
Day 1 Highlights:
The first day was packed with excitement, starting with a lively surf skate clinic for our young enthusiasts in the morning. The energy was high as kids of all ages hit the ramps and learned new skills from our expert instructors.
In the afternoon, the action intensified with our Skateboard Competition. Skaters wowed the crowd with their impressive tricks and stunts. The mini games, including a thrilling longest Ollie contest, added extra excitement and kept everyone cheering.
Day 2 Highlights:
For the first time ever, we introduced the highly anticipated Longboard (downhill) competition. This event was a massive hit with over 100 participants from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao! The competition was fierce as longboarders sped down challenging courses, showcasing their speed and precision.
We were even honored to have an Olympian, the 2nd fastest Downhill Skateboarder in the world (World Skates Games 2023), a proud Surigaonon herself, our very own Rydelle Abarico, grace the event who recently returned to the Philippines after representing our country and winning 2 Gold Medals in the Longboard Downhill competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last June 23,2024
A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors whose generous support made this event possible. Your commitment and contribution are deeply appreciated. We extend our gratitude to all the participants who traveled far and wide to join us in this exhilarating event. Your passion and sportsmanship made this event truly remarkable.
