Earlier this month, on September 4th, we hosted the first annual Andy Kessler Memorial Skate Contest at the Montauk skatepark. The contest was designed to honor Andy's contributions to the Montauk Skateboarding community and skate culture as a whole so that his legacy lives on with the future generations of skateboarders to come. I want to thank all of our epic sponsors for helping us make the event a success! Big shoutout to the Montauk Skatepark Coalition, Wampum, Linus brand, Rad Board Sport Co, Best Pizza Dive Bar, Adam Mar, Makos Thrift Shop, Best Life Ever Skateboards, All Hands Adventure, & Coreyswave!

Thank you again to everyone who showed up to make this contest one for the books! We're going to grow the contest bigger and bigger each year with the goal of being a name brand contest dedicated to helping hook up local long island skateboarders so that they can further their skateboarding careers and facilitate strong relationships with industry sponsors. UNTIL NEXT YEAR - LIVE LIMITLESS
