THE youth initiative 24seven, a non-profit collaborative that acts to see young people empowered and changed, plans to open a skateboard park in Paarl.

A public skateboarding competition will be held on Patriot Square in Paarl on Saturday from 12:00 to raise funds for a skating site in the industrial area.

The "Free Your Mind" skateboard competition will focus on good clean fun, celebrating life and introducing a lifestyle that is positive.

It will be a full day of extreme skateboarding where the youth will be able to compete with their peers for prizes, will provide opportunities for novice, intermediate and advanced skill levels.

There will be a skateboard demonstration by sponsored board-riders and "SwitchStance" will première their new skateboard movie. The day ends with a night of live music and cutting edge deejays.
