Join Surf Expo On Go Skateboarding Day, June 21

June 21st is the National Go Skate Day. On that date we will host two events. One is the Go Skate Deck Art Show. The other is ATL's Go Skate Day promotion.

Surf Expo, several skate shops, skate parks, and skater affiliated businesses will all work together to promote skating during Go Skate Day in the ATL

Skaters will be asked to stop by each one of the following skate spots. Pick up a Go Skate Day flyer and have it stamped. Each skate spot has its own special stamp for the flyer. For each stamp, you will receive one raffle ticket. There is a maximum of 3 tickets, so don't race around town to collect as many as you can. At 6:00 p.m. doogallery will host the raffle drawing. Prizes have been donated from all the skate spots and other sponsors.

From Noon until 6:00 pm skaters can stop by the gallery to be stamped and to view the Go Skate Deck Art show. Bands will be performing from Noon until 6:00 p.m, No Cover.

Go Skate Deck Art Show

More than 50 boards will be on display at the Doogallery in Cabbage Town near downtown Atlanta. The boards will be sold in a silent auction all day long. Proceeds from the show will go to several charities. (Go Skate Foundation, and local charities that are trying to build skateparks near Atlanta). The top five decks will be sent to Surf Expoon September 12­-14 to be displayed in the skate art show.

From Noon until 6:00 p.m., all ages may view & bid on the boards. No Cover. Non Alcoholic drinks will be available.

The show will be held from 10:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. is a 21 and older party. The auction will close at 10:00 p.m. $10 door donation. Alcoholic drinks will be available. Live music by TBA & DJs will perform.

How The Auction Works

All boards will start the biding at $20. Bids must be made in increments no less than $5. It will be a silent auction. To bid you must register at the information booth within the gallery. Each bidder must pay a $20 deposit. This deposit will be returned if you are not the winner of a bid. Each bidder will receive a number. The bidder will write their number & new bid amount on the bidding sheet. Each skate deck will have its own bidding sheet.

The bidding sheet has a max amount of 20 bids. There is a Buy Now price which is set by the artist. The first round of bidding will start at Noon and will end at 6:00 p.m.

The second round of bidding will continue during the 21+ party. It will begin at 9:00 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m. If the board is not sold in the first round, it will continue to be sold in the second round.

The winner must pay the amount of the winning bid. If they winner is unable to pay the amount, then their $20 deposit will not be returned. The bidder who is next in line will be the winning bidder.

Winning Boards can be brought home after Midnight on the night of the party or arrangements will be made for a later date.
