The annual Porirua skatecomp 2008 will be at the Porirua Skatepark on Friday 15th February.

Organisers Porirua City Council are delighted to be working closely with a number of skateshops and skatebrands including Fusion, Surf, Skate and Cheapskates and DVS and Manual Magazine on this community event.

The purse on offer for the open event is $1500. Last years joint winner, Porirua skater Bennett Field will be back to defend his title. Since securing the competition last year he was runner-up in the New Zealand Skatboarding championships in Auckland. As well as the open section the competition will have under 10 and under 16 sections, and if there is a demand a girls section.

It is hoped that a number of world class bowl skaters will be present as they are in the Wellington region for a similar competion the following day in Wellington.


The skatecomp will kick off at 4.30pm with a learn to skate session. Followed by all the competitions. Spectators and all levels of skaters welcome. For more information please contact Paul Assur, Recreation Programmer on 0211681252 or 042373811.
