Surfrider June Jam Press Release On June 9, the Surfrider Foundation proudly presents the June Jam at the Vans Skatepark. The day-long event, which will take place at the Potomac Vans Skatepark outside of Washington, DC, is a skate contest, fundraiser and information session. The skate events will be held in the large kidney-shaped pool and on the street course. The high-speed pool rippers will compete in freestyle, one-wheelers, and to see who has bragging rights to the longest carve. Over on the street side, the technical gurus of skating will compete in a freestyle session and to see who has the highest Ollie in all the land. The June Jam contest is open to sponsored skaters, amateurs, women, grommets and more divisions to be announced. Prizes will be offered in every division and of course there will be raffles and swag to be had for a lucky few non-skating attendees.
