Tampa Pro 2017 - Practice Coverage

Posted on Saturday, March 4, 2017 by Chris

Welcome to another epic Tampa Pro weekend at SPoT. It's the 23rd time we've put one of these on and it just gets better every year. Thanks to everyone who showed up, whether you traveled from overseas or right next door. We're stoked you're here. Yesterday consisted of mainly getting people registered and lots of practice, followed by the somewhat popular T.M. / Industry V.I.P. contest. Check out Bart's photos from the day and stay tuned for the SPoT Life episode coming a little later.
