Tampa Pro Adds Women's Event - No Equal Pay (Yet).
The Tampa Pro has been going on for years and never once has it had a women's division. Which is pretty unbelievable as women still skate for free at the legendary skatepark of Tampa. So we're glad to finally see a women's division happening.
But don't get too excited - the Tampa pro will give the ladies just $5,000 as an OVERALL Prize Purse as opposed to the men who will take home a cool $10,000 for first place alone.
We still suggest that you tune in on Saturday 2/29 and Sunday 3/1 to the LIVE feed to watch the women's event go down - support these ladies!!!
Women's qualifiers happen on February 28, semi-finals on February 29 and the women's finals will take place on March 1.
