Helmets are mandatory for participation in the contest. The Recreation Department has a couple helmets available for use however this needs to be arranged prior to Sunday if you should need one.
Here are a few photos from the Canada day skate comp in Tofino. Brandon Nairn from Metchosin with the big air winning it.
hey we drove over from vancity to go surfing in the fall and stopped in town for a quick session at the skate park.
The first annual TCSJ was held Saturday Sept. 3rd at the Tofino skatepark. It was scheduled to run the previous weekend but wet weather caused a postponement. There was some doubt whether it would go ahead on the 3rd but the day turned out to be close to perfect. Thirty eight skaters mostly from Vancouver Island as well as a few from south of the border skated the park in sunny conditions.
The event organizers, Jason Picton and Matt Petzold, are pretty pleased with how the first competition in the new park came together and are grateful to all of the sponsors, volunteers, the Tofino rec. department and skaters that made it happen. Jason said that now they have a solid foundation to build future competitions on and he's stoked by the great response to the park by skaters from near and far.
Doogie Thanks to the hard work of a locals in Tofino, today is the launch of the skate park.
photos from the soon to be old Tofino skatepark. We still manage to have some fun there.
5 ft mini ramp built by Jamie Collins, transported by Cutting Edge, sponsored by Globe and it was an excellent addition to SurfJam. Full park next year guys. Let's drag Flipside across the island.
