The Vans Showdown is a concept created for skateboarding by skateboarders, set to take place at Huntington Beach, California, during the 2019 Vans US Open of Surfing. This brand-new invitational street contest will give a nod to the iconic contests of the past, inviting some of the world’s best skateboarders to compete in a premium street course design on August 2-4, 2019.
The Vans Showdown contest aims to celebrate style and creativity. Far removed from the usual format of any other current skateboarding competition, this event will take place on a new course where Vans partnered with hard good brands Quasi, Toy Machine, Girl, and Baker to create something truly unique.
