Mid-Summer Skate Jam & Benefit for Skatepark PV

Head over to Vanguard Surf & Skate this afternoon for a Mid-Summer’s Skate Jam & Benefit for Skatepark PV from noon to 6 p.m.

The event features a skate contest, music by DJ Bassjam, raffles, prizes and giveaways as well as a free session open to everyone from beginners to pros.

Bring some lunch money because Cilantro Cantina will be on site selling tacos and other refreshments. The dollar raffle features items from Z Flex, Nike, Nikon and others. All the lunch and raffle proceeds as well as 10 percent of the day’s shop sales go straight to build Skatepark PV!

There will also be a special guest signing with Jay Adams, an original members of the Z-Boys skateboarding team and one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. Adams is featured prominently in the award winning documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys and in the 2005 dramatized film account of the Z-Boys origins, Lords of Dogtown.

Hey! It’s for a great cause! As always, all skaters must sign a waiver!

The Skate Jam takes place at Vanguard Surf & Skate parking lot, located at 5205 Pacific Coast Hwy. in Torrance. For more information, visit the website at vanguard-sss.com or call the shop at 310-373-2501.
