Everything you need to know about the 2023 Tampa Pro Competition
Who will be in the State of Florida for spring break? I know I will be! Well, if you will be too and love to watch or participate in skateboarding, the 29th annual Tampa Pro will be happening from March 3 to the 5th, 2023. The Tampa Pro is located at the Skate Park of Tampa, Tampa, Florida.
For this event, participants will have two 1-minute runs for the Street Qualifiers. Out of the two runs, the best run counts, and out of the best runs, the top two go directly to the Finals. Then the top 30 skaters will be advanced to the competition's semi-finals. Then the top ten skaters of the Semi-final will advance to the Finals. Finally, the qualifiers will have three one-minute runs for the Final Event- best run counts. The winner of the whole competition will receive $10,000.
