THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS

A TAMPA PRO PRIMER

To understand the significance of the Tampa Pro, one only needs to look at the list of skaters who have won it, starting with Mike Vallely in 1995, followed by Eric Koston the next year, then Andrew Reynolds, and so on. The Tampa Pro has been a fundamental event for so long that nearly every professional skater has participated in it, and it's renowned for being the rare competition that even "non-contest skaters" are eager to join. In 2023, this iconic professional event celebrated its 29th anniversary, establishing it as the longest-standing tradition in skateboarding. If you're able to attend, you're in for a treat; if not, you can tune into the live webcast and at least pretend you're there.

WHO CAN SKATE IT

Professional skateboarders who have [or had] a pro model signature board with an internationally recognized brand.

JUDGING

Judging incorporates both objective and subjective elements. Tampa Pro employs a five-judge panel consisting of skaters with deep roots in and respect from the skateboarding industry, many of whom are former professionals. Using a 100-point scale, judges assign scores based on several factors: the difficulty of tricks, style, technique, variety of tricks, use of the course, flow, consistency, originality, and any other unique aspects a skater brings to their run. The judge's highest and lowest scores are discarded, and the remaining three scores are averaged to determine the final score. In the event of a tie, scores from a second run are used to break it.
