On the Beach Surf Shop is proud to sponsor the 2017 Monterey Bay Skate Jam Series! The one and only monthly skateboarding event on the Monterey Peninsula, our skate jams are designed to be a fun and interactive competitive event for riders, friends, and family alike. With a live DJ, product tosses, food, and drinks (and, on occasion, demos, games of skate, and other fun events), we invite skaters, friends, and family to come out and enjoy the day with us.

There are 4 age divisions: 8 and under, 9-12, 13-15, and 16 and up. Riders will be judged based on (in order of importance): creativity, style, consistency, variety (in tricks and use of obstacles), and difficulty.

Sign-ups start at 9am, contests start at 10am. Normally, the event runs until 3pm. Dates and locations are as follows:

May 20 - Monterey Skate Park, El Estero Park, Pearl St & Camino Aguajito
June 24 - Marina Skate Park, Marina City Teen Center, 304 Hillcrest Ave
