ABOUT SKATE VISION

We are a community of skateboarders who has a passion for skateboarding! We aim to promote South African skateboarding to an international level through online media Platforms (Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc) allowing our youth to showcase their talent around the world. Follow us on our social media platforms, for exciting events and amazing skateboarding, thank you all for your help and support!

Our Mission:

To develop South African skateboarders and provide them with the tools to build a successful and fun career in skateboarding. We want to be a constant presence in South African Skateboarding by hosting skate contests and supporting local skateboarders with boards to hone in on their talent. Although Skate Vision Branded clothing is not a priority at this point we aim to use it as a form of fundraising to host these contests. Skate Vision can host Contests and Events on its own, however, we would still need the support of our local sponsors and skateboarders to drive this initiative. That's where you come in, drop us a message on our "contact us" page if you would like to know how you can get involved in the action!

2017-2021 Agenda:

- Create a Local and internationally recognized brand for skateboarding and skaters alike.

- Constantly host skateboarding events ensuring that there is always growth in the sport regularly.

- Be a support structure for young and upcoming skateboarders.

- Generate funds for contests through Skate Vision branded clothing sales.

- Build an indoor skatepark that will serve as the Home of Skate Vision.

Skate Contest Weekend

The first Skate contest Skate Vision held. We had 33 skaters to compete in a game of skate in their division (beginner, intermediate or advanced). Chris Nderitu donated a skateboard and other prizes for the winner.
The Skate Store owner at Durban Beach Park also expressed his support by donating another skateboard.
On the morning of the contest, unknowing, we had asked the owners of Slappy Skate Co and Campus Skatepark to enter completely unaware of who they were. They politely declined, however, took an interest in the event. With their help we here able to give away 3 more skateboards and lots of other goodies.
The day was an amazing success and Skate Vision realized what could be.

Street Skills Contest

This contest allowed skaters to skate their favorite obstacles and show the crowd their best tricks.

Skate Vision Skate Trails

The skate trials aimed at looking for local talent to sponsor under the Skate Vision Brand. The selected skaters receive Skate Vision gear and are exposed on social media as brand ambassadors.

Five on Flat Social Media Contest

This was the first interactive skate contest held on social media where skaters could showcase their five best tricks regardless of where they were from. The entries were posted on social media and viewers were able to vote for their favorite skater. Despite this being new we got a great response from the online community.

Skate Vision's Durban Beach Skate Contest
