The 2025 World Rookie Tour is heading to Portugal for its final qualifying event before the grand World Rookie Finals. Mark your calendars for September 20–21, 2025, when the brand new Boa Sombra Skatepark in Peniche will host the Portugal Rookie Fest 2025, the last chance for young skateboarders to secure their spot on the international stage.
Located just a few steps from Baleal beach, Boa Sombra Skatepark offers a unique setting that blends skateboarding with surf vibes and urban culture. This event is not only the 11th and final qualifying stop of the World Rookie Tour, but also the gateway to the World Rookie Finals in Slovenia, where riders will compete for wildcards to legendary contests such as the Simple Session and Mystic Sk8 Cup.
But the Portugal Rookie Fest 2025 is more than competition. Over two full days, participants will enjoy a lifestyle experience with side activities that include yoga, surf demos, graffiti workshops, and even a snowboarding lab. It’s the perfect mix of skateboarding, creativity, and culture that makes the World Rookie Tour famous worldwide.
Thanks to partners like Etnies, Independent, Santa Cruz, TSG, Jail Jam, Blue Tomato, and Red Bull, riders will compete not only for qualification but also for exclusive prizes and gear. The event will feature Rookie (2006–2009) and Grom (2010 and younger) categories, judged by official World Cup Skateboarding judges, ensuring a professional stage for every skater.
The program kicks off on Saturday with training, registration, and the Sunset Cash for Tricks Session, while Sunday will see the real showdown with qualifications and finals. With only 60 spots available, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is open until September 19, 2025, at registration@worldrookietour.com.
