Tampa Pro 2019 Practice & Industry Contest Photos

Posted on Saturday, March 2, 2019 by Chris

Friday at Tampa Pro is always pretty chill, but it's really the best day because everyone's rolling in, showing love, and getting ready for the weekend. Old faces and new come out of nowhere and it's like one big, open session. Of course it wouldn't be SPoT style if we didn't have some kind of contest, so we let the old Pros and Industry heads shine in a street contest / bowl contest towards the end of the day. Check out some photos from that and get ready for Qualifiers today. We'll be streaming live, right here on the site.
