Cape Town’s female Skateboarding scene exploded at the 2025 Shredzilla – Queen of the Park event presented by Vans, which took place at The Shred Skatepark.
The third edition of this annual event saw the introduction of a time-trial race for the under-10s, inspired by the flood of new skaters showing up to sessions each month.
As the day winded down and the confetti cannons went off, Boipelo Awuah, one of the event’s most consistent names, was crowned the Shredzilla champion for the third year running.
“Shredzilla has had a huge impact on the skate scene in South Africa,” says Boipelo. “It gives us, as female skaters, a platform to express ourselves in a male-dominated space.”
