KDC South African Street & Youth Championships 2015

KDC South African Street & Youth Championships 2015

The South African Street Championships and Youth Championships are the pre-eminent skateboarding contest for South African skaters. With a significant purse on the line, as well as the title of South African Champion, this event is a culmination of twenty events around the country all winter long as well as an Last Chance Open Qualifier during KDC week that essentially opens this contest to any African skater who can get there.

Held on the world-class Kumba Skate Plaza, the South African Championships include Wild Card winners from the Skateboarding For Hope events held throughout the winter all over South Africa, the top five skaters from each of teh South African Regional Qualifiers, and a few skaters who make it through the Last Chance Open Qualifier, which will be held in Kimberley in September, 2015.

New to the event this year is a Youth designation for skaters 13 & Under. The Youth Qualifier will coincide with the Open Qualifier, and KDC will crown a South African Youth Champion as part of an ongoing dedication to making skateboarding a viable option for the youth of South Africa.

The event is open to all skateboarders from the continent of Africa, although the top South African skaters will take home the title of South African Champion and South African Youth Champion.

There will be limited practice available during the week leading up to the event, based on work being done on the plaza. As the event grows nearer we will update this site with more specific times.
