World Cup of Skateboarding

World Cup Skateboarding (WCS), sometimes referred to as World Cup of Skateboarding, is an international skateboarding organization that hosts the World Championships of Skateboarding series and other skateboard competitions.

Focusing on the professional skateboarders, the first WCS championship took place in 1994 in Vancouver. Since 1995, WCS has grown the pro tour from 3 events in Canada and Germany^[1] to 25 events (in 2008), that encompass Canada, Germany, the United States, Brazil, the Czech Republic, England, France, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, Malaysia. For information on wes events, contact: World Cup Skateboarding P.O. Box 836 Soda Springs, California 95728.

WCS grew out the existence of the once thriving National Skateboard Association. Learning from the mistakes that the skateboard industry made during the NSA years, former NSA President and directors, Don & Danielle Bostick have made a commitment to the skaters in developing and directing skateboard competitions around the globe.
