Skate Contest In Redondo Beach, CA This Saturday!

Listen up South Bay skaters!  The inaugural King of the Harbor Skateboarding Championships kicks off at 11 AM  on Saturday 10/14 at an octagon-shaped cement area near the Fun Factory on the Redondo Pier area.

Hosted by the Redondo Beach Police Department, the free event aims to promote safety and build positive relationships between law enforcement and youths participating in a sport that’s inherently outside the lines.

Participants ages 8 to 18 must wear a helmet and complete a liability waiver.

The event is for skateboarders of all experience levels and will include free skate time before the contest gets underway.

Skateboarders will get two one-minute shots to impress on a course of rails, ramps and other pieces of equipment. A panel of judges — including pro skater and stuntman Jason Acuña, better known as “Wee Man” — will score contestants in three age groups.

Winners will be named in each age division and one overall winner will be declared King of the Harbor Champion.
