GFL Series Presented by Marinela at Tampa, Special Social Distancing Edition
Published 6/3/2020 by Rob Meronek
Keeping in mind all the proper safety precautions, we ran this scaled back Social Distancing Edition of GFL Series here in The Boardr Headquarters with a limit of just six people per division. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, respected the restrictions we're working under, and made the best of it. Check the video recap, photos, and results below and at GFLSeries.com.
On this stop for Grind for Life, we're matching our usual benefit/donation to @grindforlifeorg with the same donation to Black Lives Matter.
Thanks to our GFL Sponsors: Marinela, Grind for Life, New Balance Numeric, REAL Skateboards, Jain USA, Jessup, Red Bull, Zumiez, and Supporting Sponsors: Igloo, Bones Bearings, Go Pro, New Era, and Koozie.
