BOWLZILLA Wellington is celebrating all the colours of the skate community the week of 18th of February and capping it all with the New Zealand National Bowl Skating Championships.
For the eighth year in a row BOWLZILLA Wellington is delivering the biggest week of skating in New Zealand. With more skating, bigger gatherings, larger international field and bigger pots of gold full of rewards at the end of it all.
Nothing gets in the way of BOWLZILLA, not rain, cold, closures or pandemic. BOWLZILLA always finds a way to ensure the community has a guaranteed annual gathering of the best the skate community has to offer. 2023 is going shine bright. The weeklong festival highlights all of this through art shows, music, barbecues, catch ups, our incredible friends and family and of course the competition.
“BOWLZILLA Wellington has always been a festival of the community and each year that community grows bigger and more colourful. We look forward to welcoming everyone to come and enjoy the diversity of our friends and family. At its best, skateboarding is bright and bold and energetic and creative and welcoming and GNARLY! BOWLZILLA Wellington 2023 is going to be all of these things.” BOWLZILLA Director – Chad Ford
BOWLZILLA is renowned for its full week of festival happenings and this year there will be new additions celebrating the wider skate community and their awesome talents. The biggest week of skating in New Zealand is growing even larger. Everyone is welcome to come along and cheer and be part of the whole festival for free. There are exciting announcements coming in the New Year about sponsors and the festival.
Wellington City Council, Wellington Skateboarding Association, Redhead or Dead Events and Miryoku Agency have joined forces once again to bring this fantastic festival to the New Zealand skaters.
BOWLZILLA was born out of likeminded friends in the skateboard community looking for new platforms to promote the extraordinary talents of their friend’s talents that run in oversupply within skateboarding but are not often seen in the outside world. BOWLZILLA Wellington is the biggest platform for showcasing all of this amazing talent in skateboarding in New Zealand. There is an open invite for everyone to come and be part of the celebration.
There will be more information coming in the New Year about all the great events and sponsorships happening as part of BOWLZILLA Wellington 2023. Follow @bowlzilla for the most up to date info.
