Tampa Pro 2019 Welcome To Town Party Photos

Posted on Friday, March 1, 2019 by Chris

Tampa Pro officially kicked off yesterday, with Pros coming into town from all over the world. Since The Bricks is our official party spot now, we put together a grip tape art show with some local talent and a special contribution from Sebo Walker. Big thanks to Mob Grip for donating all the sheets - most of the show sold, which means our Boards for Bros charity got a pretty good donation. Here's some photos from the evening.
