Our first event of the year couldn't have went better. Damn Am Costa Mesa Presented by Volcom is officially a wrap. Sunday was an amazing day filled with some incredible skateboarding in the Finals and Best Trick. After everything was said and done Curren Caples came out on top, earning first place and a shortcut straight to the Semi-Finals of Tampa Am. Congrats to Brodie Penrod for taking the Best Trick, and Dashawn Jordan for winning the Zumiez Destroyer Award. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported. We are already looking forward to next year's event. Check out some photos below.
Saturday Qualifiers were insane with everyone battling for the golden ticket. Ultimately Brodie Penrod pulled it out in the end with a backtail kickflip out down the hubba. The course was being destroyed inside, while the shenanigans carried on outside at the Wheel of Fortune tent. Get full results from Saturday's Qualifiers right here and check out some photos below.
