Tampa Pro 2015

The 21st annual Tampa Pro wrapped up on Sunday, March 22, 2015 with Luan Oliveira coming out on top for his second Tampa Pro win. Oliveira skated unbelievable runs in the semi-finals and finals, packing in an impressive amount of tricks that left him untouchable  against a field of skaters that absolutely all brought the A game. 





Two pros also earned spots on the 2015 Street League Nike SB World Tour; congrats go out to Kelvin Hoefler and Felipe Gustavo for being the top qualifiers not already on the Street League roster for 2015. 

Oliveira was completely in the flow all day--smooth, stylish and skillful. He floated around, hitting every feature of the course with precision. Oliveira’s win earned him a spot in the 2015 SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championships.

Tampa Pro was also Boo Johnson’s first big contest as a pro, and he made it into the finals.
