The Maloof Money Cup is a premier showcase for professional skateboarding, begun in 2008 and now held for the second time in 2009. The event was founded by Joe and Gavin Maloof, whose family owns the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise and the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, among other ventures. This three-day festival, which includes the US Pro Men's and Women's Street Championships, the US Pro Vert Championships, and the Maloof Money Cup Am Championships, was first held July 11-13, 2008. The 2009 event was held July 10-12, 2009. Both of the inaugural event took place at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California during the opening weekend of the OC Fair. The Maloof Money Cup boasts the largest purse in the history of professional skateboarding with over $450,000 in prize money, while setting the benchmark at each prize level.

  • Why do you tear down a custom concrete skate plaza instead of leaving it there and opening it up as a public course?
  • At this time we are unable to leave the concrete plaza where it is built because of its location inside the arena at the OC Fair and Events Center.
