BOWLZILLA Gold Coast 2022

🚨 There has been a date change due to flooding and extreme weather conditions on the East Coast of Australia. Dates have been updated below. 🚨

ASF are again ensuring Australian skating is properly supported with the seventh annual BOWLZILLA Gold Coast National Park Skating Championships. The biggest competition of the year in Australia has nurtured Olympic champions including Poppy Olsen, along with underground legends like Aimee Massie and Shanae Collins.

The competition is going down at Elanora Skatepark on Saturday, March 19th. As always, the goal is to get everyone together to inspire each other and have all the fun. A source of pride is that it is the largest Equality in Skateboarding event in Australia with equal prize purses across the Yeah Girl Women’s division and the Dickies Open division.

But of course, it’s not just about the competition. The BOWLZILLA Gold Coast festival is about the gathering of Australia’s skateboarding community for a week on the Gold Coast to celebrate all that makes them great, including art, music, food, friends, community, and skating.

To kick things off, we’re teaming up with Gold Coast Skateboard Coaching for our Yeah Girl Skate Session at Tugun Skatepark on March 15th. This is a free event for women, girls, and non-binary participants skaters. To register a spot send us an email with your name and we’ll add you to the list — but be quick because spaces are limited!

On Thursday, March 10th from 6-8pm Yeah Girl is hosting a zine making workshop at our favourite creative space, Art-Work Agency.

Zine making is an important and timeless part of skateboarding culture. We’ll help you create different types of content and together we’ll assemble a collaborative skate zine from scratch. It’s the perfect workshop for aspiring designers, writers, publishers, and creators.

Dinner is on the house thanks to Beach Burrito Co. who are hooking us up with tasty burritos for the workshop!

Attendees must be 12yrs or older. This event is for women, girls, and non-binary participants. Spaces are extremely limited so hit this link now to get your ticket!
