World Cup Skateboarding (WCS), sometimes referred to as World Cup of Skateboarding, is an international skateboarding organization that hosts the World Championships of Skateboarding series and other skateboard competitions since 1994.
Focusing on the professional skateboarders, the first WCS championship took place in 1994 in Vancouver. Since 1995, WCS has grown the pro tour from 3 events in Canada and Germany to 25 events (in 2008), that encompass Canada, Germany, the United States, Brazil, the Czech Republic, England, France, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, Malaysia. The organization is based in Soda Springs, California.
WCS grew out the existence of the once thriving National Skateboard Association. Learning from the mistakes that the skateboard industry made during the NSA years, former NSA President and directors, Don & Danielle Bostick have made a commitment to the skaters in developing and directing skateboard competitions around the globe.
Officially recognized World Cup Skateboarding events have in 2018 taken place at these global venues:
