Skaters of all ages from around New Zealand and across the Tasman will head to Mangawhai next month for the town’s annual Bowl Bash competition.
The ever-popular skateboarding spectacular takes place at the big MAZ bowl on Saturday, February 3, starting at 10am.
There are four categories – Under 16 boys, Open Women’s, Open Men’s and Masters, for those aged 40 and over.
Organisers have kept the bowl bash as a jam format where entrants can drop in as they want to, providing they are respectful to other skaters.
“We are a fun event and are out to have the best time while stoking out the crowd,” they say. “There’s no World Skate or Olympic points on the line here and this format is the best for fun and skating with your homies, and that vibe is what we are all about.”
Skaters will be judged on how they use the bowl, including the waterfall and hip, as well as the difficulty of their tricks, speed, power, flow and lines.
Anyone wishing to take part must register in advance, as no entries will be accepted on the day.
