BOWLZILLA 2021: GOOD VIBES & HAPPY SMILES
BOWLZILLA: It’s the official ASF Australian Park Skating Championship - but Bowlzilla is so much more than a skateboard competition.

Scroll through to get into that BOWLZILLA mood once again. Enjoy!

BOWLZILLA: THE GIRLS KICKED IT OFF!
BOWLZILLA. The wicked week of skateboarding on the Gold Coast was kicked off with an all-girls Learn to ride Clinic hosted by Yeah Girl in Tugun Skatepark on Tuesday 8 March 2021. Heaps of girls turned up and had an awesome time with the crew from Yeah Girl and special guest Indiana Barnard. See photos and feel the vibe here.
THE KIDS ARE COMING TO BOWLZILLA 2021
BOWLZILLA. We went down the coast to experience just how much effort the young skaters from Level Up put into their training before a big contest like BOWLZILLA. Unfortunately, Queensland happened and the Elanora bowl was full of water - luckily Level Up has a state of the art indoor skatepark in the suburb next door. Easy! See photos and (seriously funny) interviews from the rad night here.
