Adaptive Skateboarding

WHAT

Marisquiño hosts the Adapted Skateboarding Championship for the second year, an experience that in its first edition was a and a great success. This time it returns with more strength and new features that will elevate the level: new formats, international riders, and the same energy that breaks barriers. Talent, overcoming, and inspiration on the board.

This initiative is possible thanks to the collaboration with the BIMBA Y LOLA Foundation, an organization committed to inclusion and the positive impact through art, culture, and sports. The foundation renews its collaboration with Marisquiño to continue promoting adapted sports and advocating for more diverse and accessible spaces.

WHERE

At Samil Beach (Vigo), on the same circuit as the World Cup Skateboarding competition. It is worth noting that for the XXV edition, Marisquiño has a new skatepark that, beyond the new big section, is designed so that all its modules are inclusive and can be enjoyed and utilized regardless of the level and/or specific conditions. Additionally, in the center, next to the logo and the pyramid, a free area has been left to avoid collisions and to incorporate a special box to offer a greater show (and enjoyment) in Skate Adaptive. All of this in a location that offers greater comfort for the public and riders, while also allowing for the spectacular natural surroundings of Samil Beach and the Cíes Islands

HOW

Along with Marcelo Lusardi, we have found a formula that works: a championship format designed for riders, creative, with rhythm, intensity, and moments of maximum concentration. A unique space, which at times becomes silent and almost intimate, and at others bursts into enthusiasm and euphoria. 

During three days, the best skaters in the world in this discipline have the perfect stage to develop their skateboarding with comfort and freedom. Based on this solid foundation, the Adapted Skateboarding Championship continues to grow, and this year takes a further step with an Open format, which opens the door to new participants and the creation of a future international ranking.

Awards

All riders, both invited and from the open, will compete for the same cash prizes that male and female riders from the World Cup Skateboarding, in a clear commitment to equity, the visibility, and the recognition of talent without barriers.

When

The competition will be held from August 8 to 10, 2025.

Friday. A first contact with the skatepark. A jam session with groups of 5 riders with 25 minutes each, where each one maps the course, generates their runs, and settles in. It is a quite strategic session because it sets up the skateboarding for the following phases. It is interesting to see how the skaters develop their skate and how the progression is so rapid from Friday to the next 2 stages. 

Saturday and Sunday. there are 2 heats of 5 riders. A warm-up session of about 15 mins for each heat and 2 presentation rounds of 1 minute in which the best round is scored. After that, a 2-minute session with 2 riders per jam. The last one with a more open and improvised skate. 

The best scores from these 2 sessions on Saturday and Sunday will generate the 2025 ranking which will be added to the 2024 ranking.

*The schedule may be subject to modifications due to weather conditions or other force majeure factors. The final schedule will be revealed soon.
