2011 Pro-tec Pool Party Kicks Off May 21st

The 7th Annual Pro-tec Pool Party presented by Rockstar Energy Drink will be held Saturday, May 21st from 3pm to 9pm in the replica Combi Bowl at Vans Skatepark at the Block at Orange, California. 40 top pros and masters will be battling it out for their piece of more than $100,000 in one of the most unforgiving bowls ever built. The 2011 Pool Party is wide open with one of the most competitive fields ever in both divisions.
