On The Beach Surf Shop Skate Jam with the City of Monterey

First 2017 OTB Skate Jam May 20, 2017 Monterey Skate Park

2017 OTB Skate Jams Schedule coming up soon.

Overview

--------

We’ve come a long way since our first Skate Jam back in 2007. What started as a small event has become a full-blown contest series. 2017 will mark our ten years of the OTB – 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.
