The Vans Pool Party was a one-of-a-kind skateboarding event that unites the biggest names in deep bowl skating. It brings together everything from the sport’s undisputed icons to today’s top talent and rising stars, all in an epic session held at the iconic Combi Bowl at the Vans Skatepark in Orange, California. Skaters competed across three categories: Masters, Pros, and Legends, each battling it out within their own divisions.
The Vans Skatepark is a true masterpiece of design and engineering.
It boasts a sprawling 20,000-square-foot indoor street course, a beginner and warm-up area, an extended mini ramp ranging from 5ft to 9ft, an outdoor course, and of course, the iconic Combi Pool.
The Vans Combi is a faithful replica of the original Combi pool from the Upland Pipeline Skatepark in California, which was considered one of the greatest pools in skateboarding history during the early 1980s.
The pool features 10ft transitions and reaches a depth of 12ft, with hips, a ‘peninsula,’ and plenty of coping to grind. It’s a massive structure that challenges even the most seasoned skaters.
The park also includes a Vans shop.
